Ebola has been the main topic on news stations for weeks now. An international campaign group has mentioned that Ebola cases are rising quite quickly in areas in Sierra Leone. The AGI(Africa Governance Initiative) discovered that in rural parts of the country the disease is spreading nine times quicker in the last two months. Luckily, the rate in Liberia has slowed down. AGI's discovery came right after the World Health Organization announced that the number of new cases with the disease is becoming lower. Although Sierra's rural area has been struck the worst with Ebola cases, the spread of disease increased six times more cases per day compared to the situation there two months ago. AGI, the organization that was formed by former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, works and operates in areas affected by the disease. AGI does not know why the spread is lowering, but that it is encouraging. Burial Management has improved in a magnificent way in Liberia and Sierra Leone. A majority of the Ebola infections are said to come from victims' bodies. On this Friday in October, WHO mentioned that 13, 567 cases, since this outbreak began and about 4,922 people have passed away.

 This article is quite important to all readers because it gives everyone an insight about what it occurring in other areas affected by this disease. Even though this disease seems to be spreading rapidly, there are other areas where lives are being saved and the rate of people affected is decreasing.
