Sierra Leonian authorities have declared the three days lock down bid to contain Ebola outbreak successful.

Authorities also said that the curfew which ended Sunday GMT will not be extended.

Under the 3 days lock down plan, no one was allowed to leave their homes except volunteers who moved from door-to-door, educating people on the deadly virus.

More than 75% of the targeted 1.5 million households were contacted, according to the Health Ministry.

“The EOC (Emergency Operations Center) has officially ended the three day stay at home, but the Social Mobilization exercise will continue in those communities that have been identified as hot spots across the country,” it said in a statement.

Sierra Leone has been one of the countries worst affected by the outbreaks, with more than 550 victims among the 2,600 deaths so far recorded.
