Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
Liberian officials confirmed today a woman has died in Monrovia from the Ebola virus.
The death makes the sixth confirmed case of the virus since it re-emerged last month following a seven week period without any new cases.
“There is one new case. This time, the response area is Montserrado county. The person died in Monrovia,” Liberia’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Francis Ketteh told Reuters.
A report on the case stated the woman died just hours after being admitted to the hospital and showed a failure in the government’s process of surveillance of those who had contacts with other Ebola patients is not effective.
Doctors are speculating the virus was lying dormant during the seven week period with no infections and that it passed from a disease survivor to another person through sexual contact.
Ebola has killed over 11,200 people since the beginning of the outbreak in December 2013. Liberia had been declared “Ebola free” by the World Health Organization on May 9th.
