Ebola has once more reared its head in Liberia, where three new cases have emerged a matter of months after the country was declared free of the virus.

A ten-year-old boy living in the capital Monrovia is the first known case, according to Liberia’s Health Minister, Bernice Dahn. Two direct family members also later tested positive.

The epidemic has so far killed at least 11,300 people.
