Christopher Dye, director of strategy in the WHO director-general’s office, told STAT the young woman traveled significant distances in a series of taxis while ill, coming in contact with people who may be hard to trace. She was cared for at a hospital that didn’t recognize her as an Ebola case, possibly leading to exposure for health workers who treated her.
She was cared for at home, in a dwelling shared by 22 other people. And after her death, her body was given a traditional burial, with family members washing and touching the deceased.
Dye said investigations are underway to see how the woman became infected in a country where transmission of the virus was thought to have stopped several months ago.
