Sierra leone’s national Ebola response chief says a complacent behaviour has led to a worrying spike in confirmed Ebola cases over the past week in four districts.
Alfred Palo Conteh, CEO of the National Ebola Response Centre, said on Thursday that new measures must now be put into place to contain the surges.
Sierra leone’s Ministry of Health and Sanitation reported 15 cases on Wednesday, along with 16 on Monday and Tuesday
respectively.
Palo Conteh said that new Ebola hotspots have emerged in recent days in Cabala Town and Magazine Cut in the east of the capital, Freetown, where a number of confirmed cases have been recorded.
