Liberia's Ministry of Health and Social Welfare confirmed an eighth person in the span of two weeks has died of the Ebola virus in the country's capital of Monrovia, UPI reported.
The announcement came a week after the country's health minister and the World Health Organization said the deadly haemorrhagic fever killed seven people in the city in the span of a weekend.
The death toll from the outbreak in western Africa rose to 528 as of Wednesday, with 398 in Guinea, 97 in Sierra Leone and 33 in Liberia.
No vaccine or cure currently exists for the flu-like virus, which causes fever with chills, joint pain, muscle pain and chest pain.
