Sierra Leone’s parliament has made the harboring of Ebola victims a crime punishable by two years’ jail in an attempt to stop the spread of the deadly virus, the justice minister said on Saturday.
The decision came as the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the hiding of victims and the existence of “shadow zones” where medics cannot go has concealed the true scale of the epidemic.
Some 1,427 people have died among 2,615 cases documented since the current outbreak – the worst since the disease’s discovery – was first identified in Guinea in March, according to figures released by the WHO.
