Ebola Crisis: WHO announces decline in spread of Ebola in Liberia

The World Health Organization says there has been a decline in the spread of Ebola in Liberia, the country hardest hit in the outbreak.

The Assistant Director General, Bruce Aylward, said they are confident the response to the virus is now gaining the upper hand but warned against any suggestion that the crisis is over.

Liberia's Red Cross said its teams collected 117 bodies last week, down from a high of 315 in September.

Treatment centres also have empty beds available for patients.

Dr Aylward said the trend is real in Liberia and there may indeed be a show down adding that data is still being examined.
