An orphanage run by a UK charity in Sierra Leone has been quarantined after one of its local staff was diagnosed with the deadly Ebola virus. Augustine Baker is said to be in a

stable condition at a local treatment centre after becoming ill last week. St George Foundation orphanage co-founder Philip Dean told the BBC that 33 children and seven staff were now in isolation. Ebola has killed more than 9,500 people in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Follow details on http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-3158718
