New policies via the GoSL... as of January 23.
I find it strange that in the UNMEER and NERC progress report of January 12-18, it states, "Many businesses are reporting an average of 40% drop in revenue since July/August, according to a new World Bank study." And it goes on to state, "Movements of EVD-suspected people across districts and chiefdoms are impeding effective surveillance."
It seems the new policies, extending shop openings from 12:00 noon (on Saturdays) to 6:00pm, Monday to Saturday do little to help the economic crisis... But then... they lift a policy that was meant to help eliminate Ebola by limiting travel between districts. This seems to go against the advice in the UNMEER/NERC report.
What should have happened was to extend the shop openings till 9:00pm, Monday-Saturday... and keep the travel restrictions. (in my humble opinion)
