Ebola Outbreak: Fewer Burials, Fewer New Cases In Liberia, The WHO Says


The fight against Ebola in Liberia got some welcome news -- with a little caution.
The number of new cases in the nation appears to be declining, with fewer burials and lab confirmations, and less-cramped hospitals, the World Health Organization said. 

If the trend continues, the hardest hit nation will get a much-needed break.

The deadly virus has left at least 4,922 people dead mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

More than half of the deaths have been in Liberia, which has buckled under the weight of the epidemic, and even declared a shortage of body bags this month.
