FREETOWN: 
Sierra Leone said Monday it had launched an emergency operation to 
prevent a serious spread of Ebola after two patients escaped for several
 hours from a treatment centre.

A highly-infectious 
32-year-old woman and eight-year-old girl sparked a nationwide alert by 
absconding together from the clinic on the outskirts of the capital 
Freetown on Saturday. 

The pair, who are not related, were
 tracked down at an undisclosed location in the evening and returned to 
the clinic after radio appeals were made to the public, the National 
Ebola Response Centre told reporters in Freetown.

"Our 
contact tracers and surveillance officers are meanwhile tracking the 
level of contacts the two would have made during the period of their 
escape," a spokesman said.
