FRESH UPDATE: CONTAGIOUS#3

According to a WHO report released on 19 November 72% of patients in Guinea are recorded and isolated, while the figure for Sierra Leone and Liberia is still dire. During the week of 9 November only 20% of cases were in isolation or treatment in Liberia, and in Sierra Leone the figure was as low as 13%. Most of these cases not in treatment or isolation are not counted in the official reports, while patients at home were also excluded.

In mid-November the WHO reported that while all cases and deaths continue to be under-reported, "there is some evidence that case incidence is no longer increasing nationally in Guinea and Liberia, but steep increases persist in Sierra Leone".
