Two Sierra Leone Doctors Die After Contracting Ebola

In May, the outbreak spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone, which has recorded around 1,600 Ebola deaths this year. The epidemic has left more than 6,000 dead worldwide since December last year, nearly all in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. The outbreak, however, appears to be stabilizing in the latter two countries.Ebola spreads through contact with bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, and sweat. It has killed around two-thirds of those it has infected over the last four decades. No effective treatment has been found for Ebola.
