Sierra Leone is now the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, which is shifting away from its source in neighboring Guinea, Doctors Without Borders said.
The group is scaling up its response in Sierra Leone, where 22 international and 250 local staff are working, the medical organization said on its website. The situation is worsening in Liberia, where confirmed cases have been reported in seven counties, it said. In Guinea, the group closed a center in Telimele, where 75 percent of patients have recovered, and new cases are falling in Conakry and Gueckedou.
