Ebola crisis: Liberia's new outbreak spreads

A second case of Ebola has been confirmed in Liberia, following the death of a teenager from the virus last Sunday. 

The country was declared Ebola-free more than seven weeks ago. 

The Liberian Ministry of Information which confirmed this said the new case was reported in Nedowein, the same village where the boy died. Liberia's authorities quarantined the area after the teenager's death saying his funeral was carried out safely. 

It is not clear how the second person was infected.

More than eleven thousand people have died of the disease since December 2013.
