                           WHO: Liberia is Ebola Free

   by VOA News

   The [1]World Health Organization has declared Liberia free of the Ebola
   virus.

   WHO made the declaration after Liberia reported no new Ebola cases for
   42 days, twice the maximum incubation period for the deadly disease.

   However, the West African region is still affected by the disease.
   Sierra Leone and Guinea -- Liberia's neighbors -- each reported nine
   cases of the disease last week.

   WHO has also announced changes to its post-Ebola guidelines. The agency
   is urging formerly infected men and their sexual partners to either
   abstain from sex or practice safe sex for six months, enough time to
   have two semen tests that are negative for the Ebola virus.
