In an interview with the Liberia News Agency Wednesday, Garblah said of this number, 35 are suspected, 16 confirmed and 3 deaths.

According to Garblah, the cases were reported from Kpaywein town, District # 2B which is currently considered an Ebola hotspot in Grand Bassa County.

She attributed the outbreak in Kpaywein on November 6 to a man who bathed a dead Ebola patient, thereby contracting the disease and later spreading it to residents of the town and its surroundings.

Meanwhile, Madam Garblah has disclosed that Medicins Sans Frontier (MSF-B) has built two mini emergency Ebola treatment units in Kpaywein
that hosts about 10 and five Ebola patients at a time, as a result of the new outbreak.

Garblah also disclosed that Concern Liberia, a non-governmental organization, has trained 12 social mobilizers to disseminate Ebola awareness messages throughout the district.

Kpaywein has 52 structures with approximately 918 inhabitants.
