A milestone was just recently marked in West Africa because the last Ebola patient in Liberia just got released from the hospital. This is a huge deal because many people in Western Africa were dying and suffering from Ebola, but not anymore! Now, Liberia is Ebola free! With this said, the citizens of Liberia are still being cautious by protecting their villages. So far, there have been no news of any more Ebola breakouts in Liberia. If this continues to be the case up until April 4th, (or 42 days after the last known Ebola infection), than Liberia will be officially free from the Ebola epidemic.
