New Ebola death in Sierra Leone
 
Sierra Leone has announced a new Ebola death in a northern district that had gone nearly six months without reporting any infections.

The announcement marks another setback in ending Ebola in Sierra Leone which has recorded nearly four thousand Ebola deaths during the worst outbreak.

Last month, the country’s last known Ebola case was discharged from hospital, a milestone that allowed Sierra Leone to begin a 42 day countdown towards being declared Ebola free.

The latest fatality is a 16 year old who died on Sunday.
