Liberian health officials scrambled to limit the spread of Ebola after the first case in three months was reported.
About 175 people are being monitored after a 17-year-old boy died of the virus this week, Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said by phone. There are two confirmed cases and two suspected cases being treated, he said. The World Health Organization declared Liberia free of Ebola on May 9 after no new cases were reported in 42 days, twice the incubation period.
