A three-day curfew aimed at containing the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone has been declared a success by authorities.
The wide-ranging curfew ended at midnight on Sunday (GMT) and will not be extended, authorities said.
Sierra Leone has been one of the countries worst affected by the outbreaks, with more than 550 victims among the 2,600 deaths so far recorded.
Meanwhile, neighbouring Liberia announced a four-fold increase in the number of beds for Ebola patients.
Liberia is the country worst-hit by the epidemic, accounting for more than half the number of total deaths.
