The Kabia family grieves as the body of their day-old daughter is removed from their home in the Hill Cut neighborhood of Freetown, Sierra Leone, by a member of a safe burial team.

Burial workers from the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health perform an oral swab test for Ebola on the Kabia family's deceased day-old daughter as a precaution, even though she is unlikely to have died from the disease. The bodies of Ebola victims are extremely infectious, and contact with them has been a major cause of the disease's transmission.
