2014-09-23 |
[Ynet] Sierra Leone recorded 130 new cases of the Ebola virus during a three-day lockdown and it is waiting for test results on a further 39 suspected cases, Stephen Gaojia, head of the Ebola emergency operations centre, said on Monday. The country ordered its 6 million citizens to stay indoors for three days until Sunday night in the most extreme strategy employed by a nation since the start of an epidemic that has infected at least 5,357 people in West Africa since March. |

#2 Actually, this is pretty good. Now these 130 can be buried and their care-givers can be supported. This three day suspension of activity has probably avoided 250 cases in the next month and thousands more during this year. |
