At first I was afraid to do this work but as I know how to protect myself, am no longer frightened to do the work."<br/> <br />Despite the safer burial procedures, the bureaucracy is creating confusion for some.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) SAHID HASSAN JALLOH, BROTHER OF EBOLA VICTIM SAYING:<br/> <br />"They had me give a funeral to another person who they said is my sister, but who is not.
