Sierra Leone ebola lockdown found atleast 200 infected and dead
Sierra Leone's controversial Ebola lockdown has uncovered some 150 new cases of the deadly virus.
This is addition to around 70 bodies previously unaccounted for, according to the authorities, who said they may repeat the campaign.
"We have an overflow of bodies which we still need to bury but this has been an everyday occurence since the Ebola outbreak... Now at least we have about 150 new cases," Steven Gaojia, head of the country's emergency operation centre, said late Sunday.
The authorities had earlier announced that around 70 bodies had been discovered.
