Dozens of motorcycle taxi drivers rode through the towns of Bunia and Rwampara in Ituri province on Wednesday carrying Ebola prevention messages. The riders wore white “Stop Ebola” T-shirts and carried banners with prevention advice as they moved through the streets. Ituri province is the region most affected by the current Ebola outbreak.
The awareness campaign was organised with support from the World Health Organization. WHO officials joined the motorcycle taxi drivers to spread public health messages and counter persistent scepticism surrounding the disease. The effort formed part of a broader campaign aimed at combating Ebola misinformation and encouraging communities to take the outbreak seriously.
Euronews reported that the riders took to the streets as health officials seek to address fear and scepticism amid a growing outbreak.
