Four yet-to-be discharged Ebola patients in Liberia still to undergo further tests

Four Ebola patients in Liberia who have been declared Ebola-free and were due to be discharged today from a treatment centre near Monrovia, Liberia's capital would undergo further tests. Clinical supervisor at the centre, Dr. Jerry Brown disclosed to BBC that, "They move around; they appear that they have recovered; but I still feel I should do another test."

"I just want to be safe on my side so that we don't discharge patients who would then infect other people," he added.

Liberia was declared Ebola-free in May by the World Health Organisation and Liberian government.
