Sierra Leone, hard hit by the worst-ever Ebola outbreak, has declared a state of emergency and is mobilizing police and the military to quarantine the epicenters of the disease.
President Ernest Bai Koroma said in a statement last night that the crisis, which has been blamed for 672 deaths in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, is an “extraordinary” challenge that requires “extraordinary measures.”
Among the steps announced:
Sealing off towns and homes where the disease is identified until they are cleared by medical teams.
Restricting public meetings and gatherings.
Active surveillance and house-to-house searches” designed to trace Ebola victims and people who might have been exposed.
New protocols for screening both arriving and departing passengers at the country’s main airport.
Hopefully it won't spread !
