Fifty people have been put in quarantine in Sierra Leone after a woman died of Ebola in the north of the country, the AFP news agency reports. The authorities are trying to trace the extent of the possible spread as the victim was sick for at least five days without telling the authorities, an official told a local radio station.

There had been celebrations last week when the last known Ebola patient at that time was discharged from hospital.
