Health officials in Sierra Leone have warned that new cases
of Ebola are continuing to emerge, more than year after the major outbreak was
first declared.
Despite a decline in cases in recent
months, there has been a sudden rise in new infections in the capital Freetown.
Almost 4,000 people have died from
Ebola in Sierra Leone since the epidemic broke out in December 2013, making it
one of the worst hit countries worst along with Guinea and Liberia.
Experts warn that fear, fatigue and denial are
allowing the virus to spread.
