Sierra Leone is expected to be declared Ebola free on Saturday, when the West African nation will have completed the required 42 days without any new infections.Excitement over this declaration is however muted with neighbouring Guinea still struggling to defeat the virus.
In mid-October, Ebola was found in a 25-year old pregnant woman and two of her children in Forecariah district, bear the Sierra Leone border.
The virus has killed almost 4,000 people in Sierra Leone since the first case was reported in the West African region in March 2014.
