Sierra Leone Records 130 New Ebola Cases During 3-Day Lockdown
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.
