Cases of Ebola in Sierra Leone are still rising quickly, campaigners have warned. However, in Liberia, Ebola cases have dropped.
News reporte by Daily mail indicated that in rural parts of the country, the virus is spreading nine times faster than two months ago, as reported from the Africa Governance Initiative (AGI).
AGI's chief executive, Nick Thompson, noted that "What we're seeing is a varied picture across the country. There are areas where it's still going up quite dramatically.
"Particularly in the western area, the rural areas, the area around and behind Freetown on the western peninsula.
'That's where you're seeing quite dramatic rises in cases, up to nine times more per day than two months ago"
This report came after the World Health Organisation (WHO) advised that the number of new cases of the disease is reducing.
