Liberia’s chief medical officer has put herself and her staff in isolation after her aide died of Ebola, officials have said.
Dr Bernice Dahn, who is also a deputy health minister, opted to put herself in quarantine on Sunday following her assistant’s death on Thursday.
Dahn and her assistant’s staff, whom she also quarantined, will remain under observation for 21 days, the full incubation period of the virus.
Four West African nations had confirmed cases of Ebola.
Liberia has been hardest hit. According to a World Health Organisation count released on Saturday, 1,830 or 3,458 people infected in the country had died.
