Country Overview
Cases of EVD in Sierra Leone continue to persist at high levels, and wide variations exist in disease transmission by district. This underscores the need for enhanced and sustained efforts to improve case identification, contact tracing, case management, health communication, infection control in order to reduce the spread of the epidemic. A balanced, multi-faceted scaling up of each of these activities might help to reduce the reproductive ratio of the current outbreak below one and help to eliminate EVD from Sierra Leone.
