#Ebola: Liberia Re-hospitalises Some Suspected Victims...

Late Saturday, residents of Monrovia’s West Point attacked a quarantine centre, where people were being monitored for possible infection with ebola. The residents were angry that patients were brought to the holding centre from other parts of Monrovia.

Some of the people who fled the centre weekend, are again under observation at a hospital Monday, a health official said.

During the raid, as many as 30 suspected ebola patients fled, but some have now been brought to another hospital, Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said late Sunday. It wasn’t clear how many of those who fled had been tracked down or how authorities were identifying them.

None of those who fled had been confirmed with ebola and the process of screening them is continuing, Mr. Nyenswah said.

There are concerns that the raid could fuel the spread of Ebola in a slum where at least 50,000 people live. Police said the looters stole bloody sheets and mattresses, which could carry the infection.
