Ebola Outbreak to Recovery: Sierra Leone Progress Report (2015)
From a peak of over 500 cases a week in October 2014, with transmission in all 14 districts, Sierra Leone has reached the tail end of the Ebola outbreak with single digit cases in only one district as of mid-September 2015. Active case search, supervision and mentoring of contact tracers and contact tracing activities continue to be strengthened in all districts. As a result of a coordinated effort with partners and national authorities, 14 districts have completed their 42-day countdown to become free of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) transmission. In order to consolidate these gains, preparedness in the event of reoccurrence remains crucial in getting to and maintaining a resilient ZERO.
