Talu mai le 1976, ua 14 le afaina o le Ebola i le Democratic Republic of Congo. O le aupito lata mai o le 2021, sosoo ai ma le 2020 ina ua tulai mai le faamai lea na vaaia ai le 140 o mataupu o le faamai, ma i le 2018, e 54 mataupu na faamauina i lea faamai.

O le fa'ama'i o lo'o i ai nei e na'o le to'atasi (31) na amata fa'aalia auga o le Ebola ia Aperila 5. Na taumafai e tausia lona lava soifua maloloina i le fale ae le'i alu i le falema'i mo togafitiga i le aso 21 o Aperila.

Na iloa e le aufaigaluega a le soifua maloloina ia faailoga ma faʻataʻitaʻi vave e faʻamaonia ai o le Ebola. O lea alii na taofia i le falemai o le Ebola mo togafitiga tigaina ae na maliu i le aso lava lea. Ole fa'ama'i e vave galue ma e masani ona a'afia ai le oti ma fua faatatau mai le 25% i le 90% e mafua ai le oti i fa'ama'i ua mavae.

O loʻo taumafai le au ofisa e faʻamautinoa le mafuaʻaga o le faʻamaʻi ma o loʻo faʻailoaina tagata faʻafesoʻotaʻi e mataʻituina lo latou soifua maloloina i le taimi lava e tasi e faʻamaʻi ai le fale na togafitia ai le maʻi. Fai mai Faalapotopotoga o le Soifua Maloloina a le Lalolagi (WHO) Fa'atonu Fa'aitulagi mo Aferika, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti:

“E le o i lo tatou itu le taimi.”

“O le fa’ama’i ua lua vaiaso na amata ai ma o lea ua matou ta’aalo ai. O le tala lelei o le pulega o le soifua maloloina i le Democratic Republic of Congo e sili atu le poto masani nai lo se isi lava i le lalolagi i le puleaina vave o le Ebola.

O lo'o fa'agasolo fuafuaga mo le amataina o tui puipui o le Ebola lea ua maua i Goma ma Kinshasa.

I se faamatalaga a le WHO, na faamanino mai ai "o tui o le a auina atu i Mbandaka ma faia e ala i le 'faʻamaʻi tui taʻiala,' lea e tui ai tagata faʻafesoʻotaʻi ma fesoʻotaʻiga e taofia ai le sosolo o le siama ma puipuia ai ola."

Na faamatala e Dr. Moeti: “O le toʻatele o tagata i Mbandaka ua uma ona fai tui e faasaga i le Ebola, lea e tatau ona fesoasoani e faʻaitiitia le aʻafiaga o le faʻamaʻi. O i latou uma na faia tui i le taimi o le 2020 outbreak o le a toe faia.

Fai mai WHO na maua e le tagata gasegase ua maliu se falelauasiga saogalemu ma mamalu.

O nisi tala fou e uiga i le Ebola

OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

Officials are trying to determine the source of the outbreak and are identifying contacts to monitor their health at the same time that the facility where the patient was treated is disinfected.
In a WHO statement, it was clarified that “vaccines will be sent to Mbandaka and administered through ‘ring vaccination strategy,' where contacts and contacts of contacts are vaccinated to curb the spread of the virus and protect lives.
The positive news is that health authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have more experience than anyone else in the world at controlling Ebola outbreaks quickly.
