Sierra Leone has banned public celebrations over Christmas and the New Year and will deploy soldiers to man the streets to control the spread of the Ebola virus.
The west African country has the highest number of cases in the current outbreak and Palo Conteh, Chief Executive Officer of the National Ebola Response Committee (NERC), said yesterday that people will have to celebrate at home with their families to help contain the disease.
Islam is the dominant religion in Sierra Leone, however more than a quarter of the population identifies as Christian and public gatherings and entertainment have been common during the festive season. Bars and clubs have already been shut down for an undetermined amount of time and public gatherings are outlawed.
