Nearly 1,000 people in Sierra Leone<\/a><\/strong><\/span> have been put under quarantine following the death of a 67-year-old woman who tested positive for Ebola.<\/p>\n

It comes five days into a six-week countdown for the country to be officially declared Ebola-free.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”Al35pIzd7lRMlzTzcGxor7aaePMnuTWh”]More than 11,000 people have died since the start of the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s Umaru Fofana in the capital, Freetown, says the authorities had been optimistic after a long period without any new Ebola cases and this caught them off-guard.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent says the quarantine is stricter than previous ones. It includes a curfew in which people will not be allowed to move from one house to another.<\/p>\n

Soldiers and police have been deployed to keep the quarantine in Sellakaffta, a village in Kambia on the northern border with Guinea.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization and Sierra Leone’s health ministry are planning a vaccination programme for those who could have come into contact with the woman.<\/p>\n

Guinea is still trying to contain its outbreak while the WHO announced that the Ebola virus had stopped spreading in Liberia for a second time on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It had been declared free of Ebola transmission in May but then more cases were found the following month.
