Sierra Leone’s government was forced to issue a statement on Tuesday denying that Ebola had been defeated, after hundreds to took to the streets in provinical towns to celebrate what they thought was the end of the epidemic. Witnesses reported crowds surging into the streets of the northern commercial hub of Makeni, chanting “Ebola is no more” and “Ebola has been defeated”. Locals said celebrations began late on Monday when a group of suspected Ebola victims were released from a holding centre with negative lab test results. “This was misinterpreted to mean that the township was totally free from Ebola and the news, which spread like wildfire, sent hundreds into the streets to celebrate,” said resident Moiwo Sesay.
