Sierra Leone closes borders due to Ebola outbreak

Health workers battling the ebola virus in West Africa say rural communities are refusing aid teams access to treat sick people. 

The World Health Organisation and the US Center for Disease Control have warned that the number of people infected with the virus could pass 1 million as early as December. 

More than 2800 people have so far died of the disease in West Africa. Meanwhile, Sierra Leone has sealed off all borders with Liberia and Guinea.
