Sierra Leone Lockdown Declared a Success- Pearson Chambers 4th

They say more than a million households were surveyed and 130 new cases discovered.

Sierra Leone is one of the countries worst affected by the outbreak, with nearly 600 of the almost 2,800 total deaths recorded so far.

Nearly all of the deaths in the world's worst Ebola outbreak have been recorded in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says the situations in Senegal and Nigeria have now been "pretty much contained".

Usaully a drastic measure like locking down a whole country doesnt go as planned.But thankfully, to the compliance of the citizens of Sierra Leone, it was made it possible.

This is good news in the ebola outbreak and hopefully the surrounding country's can follow suit and use Sierra Leone as model .
