When Ebola broke in DRC, I thought that Ebola was a lie, because the symptoms were not extant; for example bleeding everywhere on the body was a major symptom. It was during that time that I understood that it was a real epidemic and people started to respect the prevention measures being taken, then the disease ended. Nowadays, there is a change in the culture of the population.

When Coronavirus broke out in the world, I realized that with Ebola people had been ignorant. The population has respected hygienic measures such as to wash hands, coughing at the level of the elbow, and wearing a mask. With hygienic measures we have fought the virus.
