"I am one of the happiest human beings today on earth because it was not easy going through this situation and coming out alive," teacher Beatrice Yardolo, 58, said after her release. As she walked out of the clinic, wearing a bright yellow shirt, hospital cap, and a beaming smile, Yardolo kept thanking God and the health workers at the center.
Yardolo said she had been admitted to the Chinese-run Ebola treatment center in the Paynesville district of Monrovia on Feb. 18. A mother of five, she is originally from the northeastern county of Nimba near the borders with Guinea and Ivory Coast, but lives in Monrovia, where she teaches English at a church-run school.
Last 'hotspot'
The St. Paul's Bridge community where she resides and works had become the last "hotspot" for Ebola cases in Monrovia, according to Tolbert Nyenswah, assistant health minister and head of the country's Ebola response.
Yardolo's release brings Liberia hope after about a year of battling the deadly Ebola virus, which killed more than 4,100 people in this West African country.
There are no other confirmed cases of Ebola in the country, and as such Liberia can begin to count up to 42 days to be declared Ebola-free in keeping with World Health Organization protocols and standards, Nyenswah said Wednesday. He challenged all Liberians to commit themselves to achieving "zero Ebola infections" by rigidly abiding by the anti-Ebola regulations.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has said no country can be declared Ebola-free until all the other countries have no cases.
Thousands died
Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea have been hardest hit in the yearlong Ebola outbreak, which is estimated to have left more than 9,800 people dead.
"This is an encouraging sign for Liberia. However, there is no room for complacency as the number of new Ebola cases in the region has risen this week," said Vickie Hawkins, director of Medecins Sans Frontieres UK. "People move easily over the porous borders that separate Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, so until 42 days pass without a new case in any of the three worst affected countries we need to remain vigilant."
The WHO on Wednesday reported 132 new Ebola cases last week, an increase from the 99 cases reported the previous week. The agency said the spread of Ebola remains "widespread" in Sierra Leone and noted that cases have jumped both there and in Guinea.
