A United Nations medical worker who was infected with Ebola in Liberia has died despite “intensive medical procedures,” a German hospital said on Tuesday.
The St. Georg hospital in Leipzig said the 56-year-old man, whose name has not been released, died overnight of the infection. It released no further details and did not answer telephone calls.
The man tested positive for Ebola on October 6, prompting Liberia’s UN peacekeeping mission to place 41 staff members who had possibly been in contact with him under “close medical observation.”
