Posted on: Fri 27-03-2015

 
A Liberian woman who was the country's sole remaining known Ebola patient died on Friday at a treatment center in the capital, said Francis Ketteh, acting head of the country's Ebola response team.
 
The case was Liberia's first in weeks and it set back efforts to halt a virus that has killed more than 10,000 people in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. 
 
Authorities say the woman may have contracted Ebola through sex with a survivor.
