Ninety-two bodies and at least 56 new infections have been discovered in Sierra Leone during a nationwide ebola lockdown.
The three-day lockdown came into effect on Friday and is aimed at stemming the worst ebola epidemic on record.
The country’s six million residents have been ordered to stay indoors as volunteers circulate to educate people about the outbreak and isolate the sick.
Stephen Gaojia, head of the Emergency Operations Centre which leads the ebola response, said the lockdown is likely to be extended.
“There is a very strong possibility it will be extended,” Mr Gaojia said.
