"While Islam is the dominant religion in Sierra Leone, more than 25 per cent of the population is Christian and public gatherings and entertainment are common during the holiday period.
Under current emergency regulations, bars and nightspots have already been shut down and public gatherings outlawed but there is no general ban on going outdoors or working.

Sierra Leone, which has overtaken Liberia to become the country worst affected by Ebola, has recorded 1,319 new infections in the last three weeks.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday there were 17,942 cases of the tropical fever across eight countries as of December 7, resulting in 6,388 deaths - almost all in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone." DailyMail.UK
