Sierra Leone Lockdown Day1: 22 dead bodies discovered in Freetown and its surroundings. Two had died apparently for days and kept at home where a third is seriously ill. Not clear whether all 22 were Ebola deaths. Nearly 900 emergency calls to the 117 hotline. Only seven suspected cases taken in at the Lakka holding centre due to spacenconstraint. Patients holding centre at Hastings not ready in time for the start of lockdown as promised. Very peaceful but the 7,000 teams of four started visits hours late due to late arrival of material such as soap. Holes complained of no temperature tests - just some chat about the disease and a bar of soap for the family.
