Better hygiene in schools in Ebola epicentre pays off: UN
Better hygiene in schools in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea — the epicentre of the Ebola epidemic — has dramatically cut infections among teachers and students, the UN said on Wednesday. Some five million children in the three west African countries had their studies disrupted as schools were closed from July last year until January, the UN children's agency said. "There have been no reported cases of a student or teacher being infected at a school since strict hygiene protocols were introduced when classes resumed at the beginning of the year," a UNICEF statement said.
