Sierra Leone has declared a five-day lockdown in the northern region starting from Wednesday, the eve of Christmas, local media said Thursday.

塞拉利昂当地媒体周四报道，周三平安夜开始将对北部地区进行一场为期五天的一级防范禁闭。
 
Resident minister for the northern region Alieu Kamara said Wednesday that the lockdown was meant to intensify1 the containment2 of the Ebola virus and help stop the spread of the disease. 
 
Markets and shops will be closed and all vehicular traffic will be banned except for authorized3 vehicles, according to the minister. 
 
Inter-district and inter-chiefdom movements will also be banned. 
 
Christian4 and Muslim services are not allowed in mosques5 and churches during the lockdown, except for Christmas Day services on December 25, said the minister. 
 
Local reporters said that most people seem to be in favor of the restrictions6, noting that if this is the price people have to pay for eradicating7 Ebola, so be it. 
 
However, a few residents oppose the restrictions, saying their rights are infringed8. 
 
The lockdown comes after the northern and western parts of the country became hotspots of the disease. The two regions account for two thirds of the Ebola cases reported from Sierra Leone.
