awareness campaigns have again been stepped up
|
A five-year-old child who
contracted the Ebola virus after his 30-year-old mother died from the
disease last Thursday is receiving treatment with the experimental ZMapp
drug.
BBC
Africa Live report continues:
Deputy
Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah told the BBC the boy was now in “good
spirit, moving around”.
The
two are the only confirmed cases of Ebola in the latest flare-up.
Ebola
awareness campaigns have again been stepped up with people urged to wash hands and
to submit all bodies for swabbing before burial.

Meanwhile
BBC News reports that survivors of Ebola in Sierra Leone are holding protests
across the country about what they believe is a lack of government care.
They
say some people have died because they have not received proper medical
treatment.
Women
whose husbands died from Ebola say the government has not provided them with
the support it promised, meaning their children cannot go to school.
There has been no word so
far from the authorities.
