This local Red Cross team is disinfecting a body bag of an Ebola patient in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 1995.
Bleach solution is sprayed on each body bag prior to burial so as to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus. The manner in which the virus first appears in a human at the start of an outbreak has still not been determined.
