Briefings

In September 2026, approximately 40 schools in the Bunia province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo reported Ebola cases following the resumption of classes. One teacher died from the disease during this period. The evidence indicates a direct link between school reopening and outbreak reports, though the specific number of new cases is not quantified.

Key points

• Approximately 40 schools in the Bunia province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo reported Ebola cases after classes resumed in September 2026.
• One teacher died from Ebola during the period when school classes were back in session.

Context

Schools in the Bunia province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been reopening since September 2026, leading to a surge in Ebola case reports. This context explains why school closures were previously considered a primary control measure.

Limitations

The evidence only confirms that 40 schools reported cases and one teacher died; it does not specify the total number of new cases or the total number of schools affected.
