At the peak of the epidemic, hospitals and treatment centres in the country were filled to capacity and forced to turn sick people away.
“We have five confirmed Ebola cases in Liberia as of today,” Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said.
“It means that we are going down to zero, if everything goes well, if other people don’t get sick in other places,” Nyenswah, who also heads Liberia's Ebola taskforce, added.
