It was gathered that the President’s office staff’s wife reportedly may have contracted the virus from a sister, who had previously died. A praying woman who reportedly had sessions and laid hands on the sister of the deceased Administrative Assistant, has also died.
Sources within the Executive Mansion informed FrontPageAfrica Wednesday that both the deceased Administrative Assistant in the Minister’s office and her husband had been told not to return to the office until after 21 days.
An anonymous source said:“They had not been coming to work for more than 21 days now,” the source, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on the matter.
The foreign minister is currently in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia attending an Emergency Meeting of the African Union’s Executive Council on the Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak. Attempts to reach the minister and his press aide have been unsuccessful.
Liberia is worst hit among countries affected by the epidemic with at least 1,200 recorded deaths. Over the past three weeks, the country has experienced a 68% increase in infections and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the surge will continue to accelerate in coming weeks.
Humanitarian groups in the country have been complaining that there simply aren’t enough beds and suspected victims of Ebola are reportedly turned back to their communities or left waiting outside medical facilities, aggravating the risk of further contagion.
