Ebola-free Sierra Leone

In July 2014, Adrian Simpson was on a night out in Sierra Leone's third city of Kenema to celebrate his biggest deal yet: a contract to supply a new business partner with cocoa beans from his company's plantation.

Guinea's last known Ebola patient, a 19-day-old baby boy, has recovered and been released from a treatment centre in the capital Conakry, a health official said on Monday.

The World Health Organization is set to announce Saturday that Ebola-ravaged Sierra Leone has beaten an epidemic that killed almost 4,000 of its people and plunged the economy into recession.

Tests on the first Ebola case in Liberia after a three month span when the West African country was declared Ebola-free are genetically similar to a 2014 outbreak, the UN health agency said Friday.

The UN health agency on Saturday declared Liberia Ebola-free, hailing the "monumental" achievement in the west African country where the virus has killed more than 4,700 people.

The Malian Government and the United Nations on Sunday declared the country free of Ebola after registering 42 days without any new cases of the deadly virus.

Senegal is officially free of Ebola with the benchmark of 42 days passing without any new cases, the World Health Organization said on Friday.
