In South Sudan - the International Committee of the Red Cross is working with the government to educate the population in their preparedness if the virus arrives in the country.

The committee is also specifically looking at what can be done in prisons – we hear from the Head of the ICRC mission in South Sudan about what kind of things they are doing already.
