Fofanah noted that some areas of eastern Sierra Leone that were hit hardest early in the epidemic -- around the towns of Kenema and Kailahun -- have seen a massive reduction in case numbers as people change behavior.

"The areas that are now doing badly are the areas that were affected last. They are still on the learning curve."
