Liberia says new Ebola patient quarantined, stabilized

Liberia's Health Ministry says the country’s first Ebola patient in more than a month has been quarantined and is responding to treatment. 

Reports say the woman, identified as Ruth Tugbeh, was in contact with many people, including those at two schools in Monrovia, where she sold cooked food to both the students and teachers.

One report suggested she might have become infected from her boyfriend, who is an Ebola survivor.

Assistant Minister of Health for Preventive Services, Tolbert Nyenswah, said authorities are following up on the woman’s previous contacts.

“The lady is in the Monrovia Medical Unit which is operated jointly by the Ministry of Health and U.S. Public Health Service.
