Four New Cases Of Ebola Disease Recorded.
Four new cases of the Ebola disease have been recorded in Serra Leone. According to
reports, those infected with the disease had direct contact with a woman who died of
Ebola last month in a village.
According to the source this development not only poses a major setback to all efforts to
end the outbreak in Sierra Leone, but also increases the likelihood of recording
more infections
within Serra Leone and other neighboring countries.
The Head of Sierra Leone’s National Ebola Response Centre, Pallo Conteh, while speaking on the new diagnoses, accused the family members of the deceased of hiding her from
health workers when she was ill and resorting to taking care of her themselves. Even after
she died, they carried out their traditional practice of washing the corpse of the woman
without the use proper disinfectants.
“Our people are stubborn. Until they stop doing what I call the silly things we will have
cases popping up here and there. I am expecting more cases,” Conteh said. “We are sure
that the body was washed … so all those who took part in the washing of the corpse, all
those who were helping her when she was having wet symptoms would all become
infected.” he said
