Monrovia — Authorities in Liberia are opening a
new center to treat Ebola patients after the existing
one in the capital became overwhelmed with
patients.
Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said the
first center was only meant to treat 25 people and
now has about 80 patients.
The new center opening Saturday will have 120
beds but may eventually be tripled in size because
of the ongoing crisis

Isolating Ebola patients is key to slowing the spread
of the disease, as sick people can transmit it
through their bodily fluids such as blood, sweat or
urine.

outbreak in West Africa may last another six
months.
It also says the current toll of 1,069 may "vastly
underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak."
