After two months of going Ebola-free, on 20 November a new case was confirmed when a 15-year-old boy was diagnosed with Ebola and two family members subsequently tested positive as well.  Health officials were concerned because the child had not recently travelled or been exposed to someone with Ebola and the WHO stated, "we believe that this is probably again, somehow, someone who has come in contact with a virus that had been persisting in an individual, who had suffered the disease months ago."  Two members of the US CDC were sent  to the country to help to ascertain the cause of the new cases.  The infected boy died on 24 November, and on 3 December the two remaining cases were released after recovering from the virus.  The 42-day countdown toward Liberia being declared Ebola-free, for the third time, started on 4 December 2015 and ended on 14 January 2016 when Liberia was declared Ebola-free.
