A woman who recently died in northern Sierra Leone has tested positive for Ebola. It comes as a setback to the country's effort to eradicate the deadly disease.
Sierra Leone was celebrating only last week when it discharged its last known Ebola patient from hospital.
News of the new case means the country is no longer Ebola-free. High-risk contacts of the woman have been identified, isolated and will now be watched for symptoms.
