Liberia 'to prosecute US Ebola man' | Liberia 'to prosecute US Ebola man' |
(34 minutes later) | |
The Liberian authorities say they will prosecute the man diagnosed with Ebola in the US, accusing him of lying over his contact with an infected relative. | |
When he left the country last month, Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan filled in a questionnaire saying that none of his relatives were sick. | |
But Liberia's assistant health minister said he had taken a sick relative to a clinic in a wheelbarrow. | |
Mr Duncan is in a serious condition in a Dallas hospital. | |
"We wish him a speedy recovery; we await his arrival in Liberia" to face prosecution, Binyah Kesselly, the chairman of the board of directors of the Liberia Airport Authority, said. | |
Mr Duncan's is the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed on US soil. |
