Sierra Leone declared free of Ebola
Sierra Leone has officially been declared free of Ebola by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Thousands of people took to the streets of the capital, Freetown, at the stroke of midnight - marking 42 days without a single declared case of the disease. There were further cheers when the WHO local representative made the official announcement later on Saturday.
The outbreak killed almost 4,000 people in Sierra Leone over the past 18 months.
