Liberia has released what it hopes is its last Ebola patient. She’s a 58-year old English teacher hospitalised a fortnight ago.

The count is now on. If there are no new infections in 45 day, Liberia can declare itself Ebola free.

Beatrice Yardolo left the Chinese-run Ebola treatment centre in the Paynesville district of Monrovia today.

On her way home, she described herself as one of the happiest persons on earth today.

The head of the Incidence Management System, Tolbert Nyenswah, says there are no other confirmed cases of Ebola in the country.

He says now the last patient is released, Liberia can begin to count up to 45 days to be declared Ebola free in keeping with World Health Organisation protocols and standards.
