NEW YORK—Confirmation today of a new case of Ebola in Monrovia – the first in 17 days – re-emphasizes the need for strict infection prevention control at all health clinics and hospitals in Liberia. Health care workers at Redemption Hospital’s emergency ward, managed by the International Rescue Committee, had the infection prevention and control resources they needed to respond to this case in a way that minimized the risk of infection. Such protection measures must be in place across the board.
