Students in liberia began returning to the classrooms on Monday after a six-month closure during the Ebola epidemic that left thousands dead, lining up in their uniforms to have their temperatures taken before they could enter school gates. Pupils who trickled in to Saint Michael High School on the outskirts of the capital also washed their hands with chlorinated water before going inside. “I feel happy to come to school today because for so long I have not seen my friends,” Albert Kollie, 18, told The Associated Press.
