CRI听力:UN Special Envoy's Update on Ebola Outbreak Released
A UN official has announced that Western Sierra Leone and the interior of Guinea continue to be troublesome areas in the fight against Ebola.
David Nabarro, the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy on Ebola, made the comments during a news conference in Geneva.
"There are two particularly troublesome areas, one is western Sierra Leone, which is Freetown and Port Loko particularly.The second area which is a cause of trouble is the northern part of the interior of Guinea, 'Guinee forestiere', and we have been working very closely with Mali to try to make sure that if cases per chance cross the border, that they can be dealt with very quickly."
Sierra Leone says between 80 and 100 new cases of Ebola are being reported every day and it desperately needs more than 1,000 beds to treat victims, in the country now facing the most serious outbreak of the disease.
The country failed to meet a goal of isolating 70 percent of Ebola patients and safely burying 70 percent of victims by December 1st.
