現地当局が死者数の増加を警告している中、世界保健機関の長官は火曜日、コンゴ民主共和国（DRC）とウガンダでのエボラ出血熱の流行の「規模とスピードを深く懸念している」と述べた。 WHOのテドロス事務局長テドロス・アダノム・ゲブレイェソス博士は、この流行は、エボラ出血熱を引き起こす可能性のあるオルトエボラウイルスとして知られるいくつかのウイルスのうちの1つであるブンディブギョウイルスによって引き起こされ、主にDRCの遠隔地北東イトゥリ州を襲っていると述べた。 蔓延の拡大に対応して、米国は月曜日、コンゴ民主共和国で米国人1名が新型コロナウイルス検査で陽性反応を示したため、感染地域からの入国を制限する公衆衛生法を発動した。アフリカ疾病管理予防センター（アフリカCDC）は「広範な渡航禁止は生活と経済を混乱させる可能性がある」とこの動きを批判した。 DRCの保健大臣サミュエル・ロジャー・カンバ博士によると、火曜日の時点でこの流行に関連して131人が死亡し、500人以上の感染が疑われるとしている。 ゲブレイェソス氏は、イトゥリ州ではこれまでに30人の感染者が確認されたと述べた。一方、WHOによると、隣国ウガンダでも首都カンパラで検査室で確認された2人の感染者が報告されている。 日曜日、国連保健機関はこの流行が「国際的に懸念される公衆衛生上の緊急事態」であると宣言し、高い陽性率と症例数と死亡者数の増加は「潜在的にさらに大規模な流行」を示していると述べた。 ゲブレイェソス氏は火曜日、事務局長が緊急委員会の招集前にこの種の非常事態を宣言したのは初めてで、火曜日後半に開催されると述べた。 「軽い気持ちでやったわけではない」と彼は付け加えた。 アフリカCDCによると、エボラ出血熱は感染者の体液との直接接触によって広がる重篤で、多くの場合致死的な病気です。また、汚染された物質やこの病気で亡くなった人との接触によって広がる可能性もあります。現在、ブンディブギョウイルスに特有の承認された治療法やワクチンはありません。 これは開発中のストーリーであり、更新される予定です。 Source link
