Liberia's sole remaining known ebola patient dies

The virus has killed more than 10,000 people in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone

Monrovia: A Liberian woman who was the country's sole remaining known Ebola patient died on Friday at a treatment centre in the capital, said Francis Ketteh, acting head of the country's Ebola response team.

The case was Liberia's first in weeks and it set back efforts to halt a virus that has killed more than 10,000 people in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Authorities say the woman may have contracted Ebola through sex with a survivor.
