Angola: Life goes on at epicentre of Marburg outbreak

Residents of Angola's northern Uige province, the epicentre of a haemorrhagic fever outbreak that has killed more than 150 people, are trying as best they can to get on with their lives despite living under the shadow of the epidemic. Teca Garcia, the resident programme officer in Uige for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), told IRIN that the horror that enveloped the provincial capital in the days after the Marburg virus was identified had eased as the local population learnt more about the bug.
