>Human-to-human transmission directly linked to the 2014 Ebola virus disease

>(EVD) outbreak in West Africa was declared to have ended in Sierra Leone on

>7 November 2015. The country then entered a 90-day period of enhanced

>surveillance to ensure the rapid detection of any further cases that might

>arise as a result a missed transmission chain, reintroduction from an animal

>reservoir, importation from an area of active transmission, or re-emergence

>of virus that had persisted in a survivor. On 14 January, 68 days into the

>90-day surveillance period, a new confirmed cases of EVD was reported in

>Sierra Leone after a post-mortem swab collected from a deceased 22-year-old

>woman tested positive for Ebola virus. The woman died on 12 January at her

>family home in the town of Magburaka, Tonkolili district, and received an

>unsafe burial. In the preceding 2 weeks the woman travelled from Port Loko,

>where she was a student, via the districts of Kambia and Bombali before

>arriving in Magburaka on 7 January. Reports indicate that her symptoms

>during travel included vomiting and diarrhoea. The Sierra Leone Ministry

>of Health and Sanitation (MoHS), with the support of WHO and other partners,

>responded rapidly to the new case, identifying approximately 150 contacts of

>whom approximately 50 are deemed to be at high risk. Vaccination of contacts

>and contacts of contacts is underway under the authority and coordination of

>the Sierra Leone MoHS. However, the woman’s extensive travel history in the

>2 weeks prior to her death, her presentation to and subsequent discharge from

>a health care facility at which health workers did not use personal protective

>equipment (PPE), her period of close contact with family whilst ill, and her

>unsafe burial indicate a significant risk of further transmission. One contact

>in Tonkolili remains to be traced. The origin of infection is under investigation.
