Sierra Leone’s President Ernest Bai Koroma has widened a quarantine to include three more districts in an attempt to curb the spread of Ebola.<\/p>\n
Port Loko and Bombali in the north and Moyamba in the south are in effect to be sealed off immediately.<\/p>\n
Nearly 600 people have died of the virus in Sierra Leone and two eastern districts have been isolated since the beginning of August.<\/p>\n
The move follows a three-day nationwide lockdown that ended on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
