Sierra Leone authorities imposed a two-week lockdown on the eastern diamond mining district of Kono Wednesday after eight cases of Ebola were confirmed in one day. The lockdown will limit residents' movements until December 23. Sierra Leone, along with Guinean and Liberia, is at the epicentre of the worst Ebola outbreak on record. Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) and US Center for Disease Control have been assisting Sierra Leone's National Ebola Response Center to prevent the virus from spreading throughout Kono and its population of 350,000.
