Sierra Leone on Wednesday said health workers would go door-to-door as part of sweeping efforts to stem the spread of Ebola in the west of the country, which has also been hit by a ban on New Year revelries and travel restrictions.

Hundreds of health workers and volunteers meanwhile fanned out across the country's west, where the capital Freetown is located, to begin the 15-day exercise officially dubbed the "Western Area Surge". "Christians attending church ceremonies on Christmas Day will be allowed to do so but are requested to return home immediately after the church services to celebrate Christmas with their families," the president said.
