The cases are all in the same family. Officials say that Liberia is moving quickly and being vigilant to make sure it does not spread further.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>This is the second time the virus resurfaced in Liberia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The World Health Organization had initially declared the country Ebola-free in May, but then four new cases occurred and caused two deaths. The country was once again declared free of the virus in September, but now, there are three new cases. Dr. Bruce Aylward, the World Health Organization\u2019s special representative for the Ebola response and deputy director general for outbreaks and health emergencies, said that these flare-ups are expected to be less common and to end in 2016. Transmission during flare-ups have been quickly halted and have not spread as quickly, thanks in part to new tools such as experimental vaccines. The doctor said that the new cases show how important it is to maintain strong surveillance programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11886\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11886\" style=\"width: 702px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/11\/ci3yzrvumae4fzu.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"702\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/11\/ci3yzrvumae4fzu.jpg 534w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/11\/ci3yzrvumae4fzu-85x64.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11886\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CI3YZrvUMAE4FZu.jpg\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The first new case was a 10-year-old boy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A young boy began showing symptoms last week.

Scientists have shown that the virus remains present for months in the semen of some male survivors. In rare cases, the virus can be transmitted through unprotected sex. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta is working closely with the Liberian government and international organizations. They had expected some flare-ups in the country. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cEven though it has been nearly four months since the last Ebola patient was discharged from a Liberian Ebola treatment unit, Liberia has maintained a heightened state of vigilance,\u201d the Centers said in a statement. \u201cResponders have proven to be effective in rapidly identifying, isolating and treating new cases. As the situation continues to evolve, C.D.C. and partners are working hard to rapidly control this case.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11884\"
