Lockdown yields 130 cases
Print Edition
Sierra Leone recorded 130 new cases of the Ebola virus during a three-day lockdown and it is awaiting test results on a further 39 suspected cases, Stephen Gaojia, head of the Ebola Emergency Operations Centre, said yesterday.
The country had ordered its six million citizens to stay indoors until Sunday night in the most extreme strategy employed by a West African nation since the start of an epidemic that has infected 5,762 people since March.
"The exercise has been largely successful ... The outreach was just overwhelming. There was massive awareness of the disease," Gaojia said, noting that authorities reached more than 80 percent of the households they had targeted.
