Ebola: Ask your questions LIVE to the Minister of Information and Communications of Sierra Leone
The
Minister of Information and Communications of Sierra Leone, Alpha Kanu,
will host an online press conference Thursday, December 11, at 15 GMT
MONROVIA, Liberia, December 9, 2014/ -- It
is now seven months since Sierra Leone recorded the first case of Ebola
and, in spite local and international efforts in the fight against the
virus, the numbers continue to spike, particularly in the Western areas
of the country.
The
President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma has himself been touring the length and
breadth of the country mobilizing paramount chiefs and other
stakeholders for community involvement in the fight against the Ebola
virus disease.
The
message of the President has been very clear: Sierra Leone can get the
best of treatment centers, the best of clinicians and doctors but unless
and until the chain of transmission is broken at the community level by
respecting the health measures being put in place of avoiding body
contacts, not to touch or bury corpses, and above all, to always call
the national Ebola response toll free number of 117, the fight against
the virus can still be a herculean challenge.
The
Minister of Information and Communications of Sierra Leone Alpha Kanu
will host an international press conference to dilate on this and
several other issues, including concerns over the spike of cases
particularly in the western areas of the country, on Thursday, December
11, 2014 at 3pm Sierra Leone time.
