Ebola: 5 cases remain in Liberia

Sierra Leone had restricted travel for around half its population, sealing off 6 of its 14 districts and numerous tribal chiefdoms.

President Ernest Bai Koroma pointed to a “steady downward trend” in new cases in recent weeks, adding that “victory is in sight”.

The relaxation, and the progress seen in Liberia, marks huge progress against an epidemic which has seen commerce all but grind to a halt, with restrictions on movement halting crop harvests and sparking warnings of a looming food crisis.
