Sierra Leone Re-Opens Schools 9 Months After Ebola Outbreak

Sierra Leone has now re-opened all her educational institutes of learning across the country.  The schools were shut down about nine months ago when the deadly Ebola virus hit the country and has killed over 10,000 Africans.

Some students were however glad that the schools are now opened, while some said, they felt the government should have waited for WHO to declare the country free of the virus before asking them to come back to school. The government has also however advised students to practice what it calls “avoid-body-contact-method” to ensure their safety in schools.
