The daily updates

Dear disease surveillance officers and CDC colleagues,

Included the daily update for the treatment centre in Bo:

- 4 new admissions:
      2 from Freetown (1 confirmed, 1 suspect*) + 2 from Port Loko (probable)

*1 baby came with its mother, who is confirmed. The baby is negative, but was breastfed by his mother for some days so we will keep him in the suspected tent for observation. He also has nowhere to go for now...

- 1 confirmed patient died last night > burial team alerted

- 2 patients cured and discharged! They will go back to their family today
    (if they will let them go back into the quarentined areas)

Any news on the outreach activities to the area of the new cluster today? Than I know if I need to chase the GIS officer to update the maps.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Veerle Hermans
