<3 people being safe on such a significant day. When you think 300 people came to celebrate there’s a lot of community pulling together to shrink themselves down to the permitted 50. Unlike Covid, it’s not transmitted by breath, so that is why you don’t see masks. #ebola youtu.be/C55VhuHUsnc

Faith, fear and trust: Inside DR Congo’s fight against Ebola
In a village in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), health workers arrived a few days ago to help bury a person who had died from Ebola. Instead, they were threatened, told armed rebels would be called if they stayed, and forced to leave.
