A team of 59 medical workers from China headed for Sierra Leone on Tuesday afternoon to help contain Ebola.

The team will be working for about two months in a hospital China helped build in Freetown, the capital, said team leader Gao Fu, deputy director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The team is composed of workers from the center and from the 302 Military Hospital of China.

"Staff workers from the center will do virus detection to diagnose Ebola cases, while those from the hospital will be taking care of people who are being monitored for potential infection," he said, adding a mobile laboratory will arrive soon.
