WHO: Ebola Response Roadmap Situation Report
24 September 2014
OVERVIEW
The total number of probable, confirmed and suspected cases (see Annex 1) in the current outbreak
of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa was 6263, with 2917 deaths, as at the end of 21
September 2014. Countries affected are Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone. Figure 1
shows the total number of confirmed and probable cases by country that have been reported in each
epidemiological week between the start of 30 December 2013 (start of epidemiological week 1) and
the end of 21 September 2014 (epidemiological week 38: 15 to 21 September), and indicates a fall in
the number of reported new cases compared with the previous two weeks. However, for reasons
given below, this is unlikely to be an accurate reflection of the reality. The epidemic of EVD in West
Africa is still increasing.
...

...
SIERRA LEONE
Nationally, the situation in Sierra Leone continues to deteriorate, with an increase in the number of
new confirmed cases reported over each of the past five weeks. The increase is driven primarily by a
sharp increase in the number of newly reported cases in the capital, Freetown. The neighbouring
districts of Port Loko, Bombali, and Moyamba have also reported increases in the numbers of cases
over the past four to five weeks. The numbers of newly reported cases in Kailahun and Kenema,
which have previously been stable or slowly declining, have fallen over the past week, though further
investigation will be required to confirm whether this fall is genuine. Cases and deaths found during
the three-day house-to-house Ebola sensitization campaign, which came to an end on 21 September,
are not yet included in official data.

Nationally, the situation in Sierra Leone continues to deteriorate, with an increase in the number of
new confirmed cases reported over each of the past six weeks. The neighbouring districts of Port
Loko, Bombali, and Moyamba, which are adjacent to the capital, Freetown, have now been
quarantined after a surge in new cases over the past four weeks. Tonkolili has also reported a rise in
the number of new cases this week. By contrast, a very low number of new cases have been
reported from Kailahun and Kenema for the past two weeks. These areas had previously reported
high levels of transmission. Further investigation will be required to confirm whether this fall is
genuine, or a result of under-reporting. At present, the latter appears more likely
