“After every task, you have to change gloves and wash your hands, yet we are only given one pack a week, which is clearly insufficient,” says Fikhe.

“Senegal: Newspaper Editor Handed Suspended Sentence for Publishing False News On Ebola “

[snip]
The La Tribune newspaper on August 11, carried a front-page story titled “5 cases of Ebola in Senegal”. The report is said to have caused panic among the Senegalese people and annoyed the authorities, including the Minister of Health, Eva Marie Coll Seck.

According to MFWA’s correspondent, the state prosecutor, took up the matter and had the journalist summoned. He was kept in police custody and then later placed under a committal order on August 12.

In a press communiqué, the Ministry of Justice, said the information published by the newspaper could have extremely serious repercussions for Senegal. “This information can place our country in quarantine by the international community and seriously affect Senegalese desirous of travelling, particularly at a time when people are busy preparing for the pilgrimage to Mecca.”
