Health authorities in Congo report a significant number of Ebola cases. The disease has claimed many lives, with a notable portion of cases resulting in fatalities. Children under a certain age are particularly vulnerable, with a high percentage of cases in this group being fatal.

A return to classes is scheduled, but some are expressing concerns about the timing. They believe the risk of infection is still too great, and are urging a delay. Further details about the outbreak and its impact are available from health authorities and other sources.
