Ebola in Ituri: strengthened prevention measures in schools after student death

Ebola response teams in Ituri are strengthening prevention measures in schools, especially in Rwampara health zone, by providing infection control materials and establishing school brigades. Daily visits are conducted to identify students or staff showing symptoms, with increased monitoring of students exposed to confirmed cases, such as at Maranata school in Shari. The surveillance extends to home follow-up through community relays to break the transmission chain.
