Data are based on official information reported by ministries of health. These numbers are subject to change due to ongoing reclassification, retrospective investigation and availability of laboratory results. *Not reported due to the high proportion of probable and suspected cases that are reclassified. ‡Data not available. **The outbreak in Liberia was declared over on 9 May 2015. Due to ongoing surveillance and retrospective validation of cases and deaths, these totals may be subject to revision. At present, cases and deaths reported after 9 May 2015 are considered to constitute a separate outbreak to that which was declared over on 9 May.

SIERRA LEONE
Key performance indicators for the EVD response in Sierra Leone are shown in table 7.
A total of 9 confirmed cases were reported from 3 districts (Kambia, Port Loko, and Western Area Urban) in the week to 5 July (table 3, figure 2, figure 3, figure 5, figure 6).
Four chiefdoms—Bramaia, Magbema, Samu and Tonko Limba—in the district of Kambia each reported a single confirmed case of EVD. All 4 cases were either registered contacts of a previous case or have an established epidemiological link to one.
Two cases were reported from two chiefdoms in Port Loko. The first, from Maforki chiefdom, was a registered contact of a previous case. The second, reported from the chiefdom of Masimera, arose from an unknown source of infection and was identified after post-mortem testing of a community death.
Three cases were reported from the Magazine Wharf area of the capital, Freetown. All three cases are registered contacts associated with previous cases in the cluster.
All but one of the 9 cases reported from Sierra Leone in the week to 5 July were either registered contacts of a previous case (5) or have an established epidemiological link to one (3). However, 3 cases were only identified as a result of post-mortem testing of community deaths. On 5 July, a total of 1521 contacts were being monitored in 3 districts: Kambia, Port Loko, and Western Area Urban (table 3).
In the week to 5 July, 98.1% of 480 credible reports of sick people with possible EVD-like symptoms were responded to within 24 hours. More than two-thirds (70%) of reports came from Freetown and the surrounding rural area. In addition, 1710 reports of deaths were received during the same period, 98.3% of which were responded to within 24 hours.
Locations of the 10 operational Ebola treatment centres (ETCs) in Sierra Leone are shown in figure 7.
Laboratory indicators continue to reflect a heightened degree of vigilance, with 2012 new samples tested in the week to 5 July: the fifth consecutive weekly increase in new samples tested. Less than 1% tested positive for EVD.
Locations of the 9 operational laboratories in Sierra Leone are shown in figure 8. There was one health worker infection reported from Kambia in the week to 5 July.
