Concern in a primary school in Mambasa after the death of a student with Ebola

Since September 24, the primary school of Lalia near Biakato-centre in Mambasa, Ituri, has been on alert following the death of a student with Ebola. Panic has led some students to leave school and parents to keep their children home as a precaution. School authorities urge strict adherence to barrier measures, while civil society calls for the temporary suspension of classes and school disinfection to prevent further spread of the virus.
