Finally some good news: Nigeria and Senegal are now officially Ebola-free.

Nice but I don't believe it.  The definition of "Ebola free" is the lack of a reported Ebola case for three weeks.  But I bet some people are not reporting their illness (or it would not surprise me).

data associated with the Congo outbreak indicates that people possibly exposed to Ebola should remain in isolation for as long as 31 days.
