Last Ebola patient released from Liberia hospital, reports say

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/03/05/last-ebola-patient-released-liberia/24421305/

The last Ebola patient in Liberia was released from a hospital Thursday, according to media reports.

Beatrice Yardolo, 58, was discharged from the Chinese-run treatment center in the Paynesville district of the capital Monrovia, the Associated Press reported.

Yardolo, an English teacher who was admitted on Feb. 18, told the agency she was "one of the happiest persons on earth today."

Her release is a significant step — Liberia can be declared Ebola free after 42 days if there are no new infections.
