Sierra Leone Vice President In Ebola Quarantine by Okimski(m): 11:36am On Mar 01, 2015
Sierra Leone’s Vice President Sam Sumana has
placed himself in quarantine following the Ebola
death of one of his guards, a government
spokesman said Saturday, as the country
reintroduced travel restrictions as the number of
new cases rises again.
Sumana “has decided to place himself in
precautionary quarantine awaiting the results of
tests by the health authorities”, the spokesman
said.
Sumana’s bodyguard, 42-year-old John Koroma,
died from Ebola on Friday, medical sources said.
Sources at the vice president’s office said
Sumana is not in danger but had decided to stay
out of his office for the next 21 days and work
from his home in the west of the capital.
The government voiced “grave concern” that the
fall in the number of new cases seen in the west
African nation in recent weeks has been
reversed.
“The common denominator in the new cases is
involvement with maritime activities,” the
presidency said in a statement.
The authorities, therefore, decided that no boat
can enter the country overnight, with marine
police alerted to impose the rule. Restrictions
were also placed on commercial vehicles and on
the number of passengers carried by taxis,
lorries and other vehicles.
Ebola restrictions were eased in January as the
number of new cases fell, in an attempt to boost
the economy.
However on Wednesday Sierra Leone said it was
seeing a spike in Ebola infections, blaming
unsafe burials that threaten to undermine the
recovery from the deadly epidemic.
The west African nation, which has registered
some 3,400 deaths in the nine months since the
outbreak spread from neighbouring Guinea, had
seen a steady decline in new cases over recent
months.
Ebola, one of the deadliest viruses known to
man, is spread only through direct contact with
the bodily fluids of the recently deceased or an
infected person showing symptoms such as
fever or vomiting.
More than 9,500 people have died of the disease
since the west African epidemic emerged in
southern Guinea in December 2013.
Liberia has registered the highest death toll of
4,037 fatal cases while Sierra Leone has seen
almost half of the total of 23,694 cases.
While Liberia is showing only a tiny handful of
new cases each week, Guinea and Sierra Leone
continue to be a worry to the authorities, who
say they still do not have the epidemic under
control.
Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma leaves
for Brussels on Sunday to co-reside with the EU
at an international meeting on the fight against
Ebola and measures to facilitate reconstruction
in the countries hit by the virus.
