Sierra Leone set for Ebola all clear as it approaches 42 days without a fresh case | Global development | The Guardian

Sierra Leone set for Ebola all clear as it approaches 42 days without a fresh case | Global development | The Guardian: "Sierra Leone is expected to be declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organisation on Saturday, when it will have gone 42 days without any fresh case of the virus.

Celebrations are being prepared but the optimism is tempered by caution because the virus is still affecting neighbouring Guinea, which has recorded four cases in the past fortnight.

In a grim reminder of how the virus cuts through families, all four patients are siblings, infected by their mother. She had tested positive after caring for her sister who died of the disease."
