We've avoided a strong publicity campaign. We've focused on word of mouth communication.

If we only organize in Kisenso, there will be huge crowds coming to Kisenso to obtain the vaccine and that could become unmanageable, so we're going to wait a little to obtain more (syringes).

It is probable we will divide up the vaccine, the decision will be announced. We need to look at how many people are being vaccinated and the availability of vaccine.

What we know is just suspicion ... For the time being, epidemiologists are on the ground collecting samples to send to the lab.

We are searching for as many as 100 people in the Congo River as well as assisting these people with body bags, medical kit, one of the boats was totally destroyed and that is the one we believe was carrying the missing.
