Sierra Leone is a great country with her citizens being very modest in nature and also very accommodating too. Sierra-Leone share boarders with Guinea and Liberia, lots of people from these three countries do business together that is why to a large extent when an epidemic breaks out in any one of these countries, it spreads so easily and fast because citizens of both countries travel in hundreds daily to get their goods across for consumers. Cooperation between these countries are very cordial and now new cases of Ebola has been reported in Guinea and Liberia, this recent case of Ebola has prompted Sierra-Leone to raise alert in the country. One of the measures taken now is to control any person coming into the country (Sierra-Leone) through the boarder town of Jendema because is most used by traders to transport their goods in and out of the country. The same control is also in place in other boarders too, this is a brave move coming from the government of Sierra-Leone. We also appeal to them to take this alert very seriously because of what they passed through in the past when this deadly disease attacked the country.
We (Viewers Corner News) suggested in the past that the government of Sierra-Leone should teach her citizens more on the essential method of hygiene, their environment should be kept clean at all times. Certain areas of the country should be fumigated. They are lots of places within the country that should be on the close watch by the government of Sierra-Leone, also awareness campaign should be carried out at all times. These are precautionary measures that may prevent diseases from hitting the country in a hard way. We believe (Viewers Corner News) that if some of these points mentioned here are followed carefully though it may sound so simple but very helpful, the government could save cost instead of waiting until the disease is out before given attention to it. Prevention they say is better than cure. Again we (Viewers Corner News) are appealing to the government of Liberia and Guinea where this new cases of Ebola epidemic have been reported to take a more curable approach to end this problem. They should not wait for the World Health Organization to always come and tell them what to do before action is taken because human beings are being killed by this deadly disease called Ebola. We advise that different medical studies be carried out within the country, conduct more research in your various countries using your own qualified men and women that are in this field. Come out with a more comprehensive educational programs that would teach the citizens of your various countries on health issues and how they could protect themselves from different kinds of diseases not only Ebola. This should also be a wake up call to other African countries to sit tight and be on alert because you never can tell when such problem may come which we (Viewers Corner News) pray and hope would not get to other African countries.
