The UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) targets of isolating and treating 100% of EVD cases and burying 100% of EVD related deaths safely by 01 January, 2015, continue to progress in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone
All 3 countries have: Sufficient capacity at a national level to meet both targets, though local variations means capacity is still insufficient to
stop transmission in some areas Access to a laboratory within 24 hours from sample collection. Reported that more than 80% of registered contacts associated with known cases of EVD are being traced, although
contact tracing is still a challenge in areas of intense transmission and in areas of community resistance.
