UPDATE : 

Liberia has first Ebola death since being deemed free of the disease in September

A Liberian boy died of Ebola on Monday, the first death from the disease since the country was declared Ebola-free in September.

The 15-year-old died Monday night in a hospital near the capital after testing positive for the disease last week, the Associated Press reported from Monrovia. His father and brother are being treated for Ebola, too.

The September declaration was the second time it received such a designation this year. Liberia was also deemed free of the disease in May, but new cases surfaced a month later.

A case of Ebola has been confirmed in a 10-year-old boy in Liberia - which was previously declared free of the disease.

The boy is currently being seen by medics at the treatment center on the outskirts of the capital Monrovia.

Liberia was first declared Ebola-free on May 9 - but there was a resurgence of the disease in late June infecting four people and two later died.

The country was again declared Ebola-free on September 3 by the World Health Organization.

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Francis Kateh told AP on Friday the boy, a resident of the eastern Paynesville district of Monrovia, was taken to the Ebola treatment unit late Thursday.

He confirmed the boy had Ebola.
