The peacekeeper was earlier evacuated to the Netherlands Dec 6 and has now recovered, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily news briefing.
Liberia is one of the three hardest hit countries in West Africa in the Ebola crisis, the other two countries are Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Earlier this month, figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) put the total number of Ebola cases at 18,603 and the death toll at 6,915.
The UN report said the number of new cases is declining in Liberia, "fluctuating" in Guinea and may have stopped increasing in Sierra Leone. It noted there have been no new cases reported in Mali since Nov 24.
Liberia still has the highest death toll from the epidemic at 3, 290, reports said.
