Congo Reopens Schools in Ebola Hotspot Amid Safety Fears
Schools have reopened in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ebola epicenter despite significant concerns from parents and teachers. This decision occurs as the outbreak has surpassed 6,000 cases, with containment measures like gathering limits and airport closures in place across six provinces. While health workers are being vaccinated to protect communities, the resumption of classes raises questions about balancing educational needs with public safety in high-risk areas.
