Majority of Sierra Leoneans say government managed COVID-19 better than Ebola – Afrobarometer
A recent Afrobarometer survey has shown that the majority of Sierra Leoneans say the government managed the COVID-19 pandemic better than the Ebola epidemic in 2014.
The survey states that three-quarters of Sierra Leoneans who took part in the process say the government did a good job of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and that the country’s experience with the Ebola outbreak made it better prepared to handle COVID-19.
The Ebola epidemic which lasted for two years claimed at least 3,955 lives in the country, while the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in 125 deaths only.
However, very few households report having benefited from government COVID-19 relief assistance. Many also say that relief assistance was distributed unfairly and that resources intended for the COVID response were lost to corruption.
