The World Health Organization declared Saturday that the ebola outbreak in Liberia is officially at its end. The country has gone 42 days without any new ebola cases, after having the highest number of deaths in the recent outbreak. During the outbreak's peak in September 2014, the country was reporting an average of 300 to 400 cases every week. "We are out of the woods," Liberia's Information Ministry declared on Twitter. "We are Ebola free. Thanks to our partners for standing with us in the fight against Ebola. We are Liberians."
