TLDR:

The centre was burned by local youths who became angry while trying to retrieve the body of a friend

Apparently said youths don't understand viral spread.

Because they are taught it was witchcraft.

Keep in mind, this region hunts and kills albino children, to eat them for witchcraft.

This what happens when they have no education. Sad will this fire spread the virus?
