乌干达坎帕拉电——刚果民主共和国及邻国乌干达的埃博拉疫情在宣布暴发一个月后仍在持续蔓延。周一至周二期间,确诊病例总数激增至800多例,较上周增加约300例。

联合国世界卫生组织警告称,该病毒在刚果(金)的“地理传播范围仍在扩大”,专家表示,阻止疫情演变为更广泛的卫生危机是一场与时间的赛跑。

在疫情震下起里省,刚果(金)安全部队鸣枪示警,驱散了试图将埃博拉受害者遗体带回家的愤怒人群。医护人员当时正为了社区安全转移遗体——即使在死后,感染者仍具有高度传染性。

世卫组织表示,中非地区的“密集社区传播仍在持续”,新增病例和死亡人数大幅上升。

世卫组织疫情事件负责人玛丽-罗丝琳·贝利泽尔博士(Marie-Roseline Belizaire)对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,刚果(金)社区仍有死亡病例报告,“这意味着我们漏报了病例”,疫情仍在人群中悄无声息地传播。

“疫情宣布暴发一个月后,我仍然感到担忧,”她说。

追踪所有可能接触过已知埃博拉病例人员的工作进展也较为缓慢。情况有所改善,但刚果(金)医护人员表示,他们仅能追踪到超过一半与确诊病例有过接触的人员。按实际人数计算,这意味着仍有约3000名潜在接触者未被排查。

在边境另一侧的乌干达,当局正采取积极的防护措施。我们的记者团队刚抵达该国时,所有人都必须扫描二维码并声明自己未接触过蝙蝠、未参加过葬礼,也未出现埃博拉相关症状,如发烧或呕吐。

但这只是在主要机场的要求。乌干达与刚果(金)的边境线长达近500英里——约相当于美国佛罗里达州的长度。尽管疫情期间边境已正式关闭,但人员仍在自由跨境流动。

“我们的问题是如何管理与刚果(金)的边境跨境活动,”乌干达国家公共卫生主管丹尼尔·卡巴延泽博士(Daniel Kyabayinze)对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示。“我们知道所有病例都是从那里输入的。”

截至6月10日,世卫组织称乌干达已确诊至少19例埃博拉病例,其中包括2例死亡。

卡巴延泽表示,在限制措施下,跨境人员流动可能“非常有限”,但他无法完全排除这种情况。

“我们是同根同源的民族。乌干达和刚果(金)的文化、语言相同,”他说。“他们是同一个家族。所以即使存在非官方过境点,家族成员仍会往来。”

“在这种多孔性边境上实施严格管控、完全阻止人员流动几乎是不可能的,这就像阻止风吹一样,”卡巴延泽说道。

他和其他顶尖流行病学家本周对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,他们总体上对乌干达实施的预防措施感到满意,该国已有11天未报告新增病例。但他们表示,将继续密切监测刚果(金)的疫情以及两国漫长的共同边境线。

Ebola outbreak still spreading in Congo, and “that means we are missing cases,” WHO says

Kampala, Uganda — The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring Uganda is still spreading one month after the outbreak was declared. The total number of confirmed cases surged between Monday and Tuesday to over 800, an increase of about 300 since last week.

The United Nations’ World Health Organization has warned that the virus is still “increasing” in its “geographic spread” in Congo, and experts say it’s a race against time to stop it from mushrooming into a wider health crisis.

In the epicenter of Ituri province, Congolese security forces fired warning shots to break up an angry crowd of people trying to take the body of an Ebola victim home. Health workers were trying to remove the body for the community’s safety — even in death, victims are highly contagious.

The WHO has said that “intense community transmission continues” in the Central African region, and new cases and deaths have surged.

WHO Incident Manager Dr. Marie-Roseline Belizaire told CBS News deaths were still being reported by the community in Congo, and “that means we are missing cases,” with the disease still spreading undetected in the population.

“One month after the outbreak has been declared, I’m still feeling concerned ,” she said.

Efforts to trace anyone believed to have come into contact with known Ebola cases have also seen slow progress. There’s been some improvement, but Congolese health workers say they’ve only been able to follow up with a little over half of the people who came into contact with confirmed cases. In real numbers, this means about 3,000 possible contacts are still unaccounted for.

Over the border in Uganda, authorities are in proactive protection mode. As soon as CBS News landed in the country, all members of the team had to scan a QR code and declare that nobody had been in contact with bats, attended a funeral or experienced symptoms of Ebola such as fever or vomiting.

But that was at the main airport. Uganda shares a nearly 500-mile border with Congo — about the length of the state of Florida — and despite it officially being closed amid the outbreak, people continue to move freely across it.

“Our problem is how is it being managed across the border with the Congo,” Uganda’s National Director of Public Health, Dr. Daniel Kyabayinze, told CBS News. “We know all our cases have been imported from there.”

As of June 10, the WHO said at least 19 Ebola cases had been confirmed in Uganda, including two deaths.

Kyabayinze said the movement of people across the border was likely “very minimal” under the restrictions, but he couldn’t rule it out.

“We are the same people. The culture and language in Uganda and the people across the Congo are the same,” he said. “They’re the same families. So, even when you have non-gazetted (unofficial) crossing points, the families still communicate.”

“Putting a tight ribbon, or a no-stop movement on the porous borders is almost impossible, it’s like stopping wind from blowing,” Kyabayinze said.

He and other top epidemiologists told CBS News this week that they’re generally happy with the preventative measures implemented by Uganda, and no new cases have been reported in the country in 11 days. But they said they continue to monitor the outbreak in Congo — and the two countries’ long shared border — very closely.
