Inseguridad en RD Congo frena rastreo del ébola

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.telesurtv.net/inseguridad-rd-congo-frena-ratreo-de-ebola/

🦠El Gobierno de la República Democrática del Congo elevó a 344 los casos confirmados y a 60 las muertes por el brote de #ébola. La provincia de #Ituri se mantiene como el epicentro de la epidemia al concentrar 322 contagios y 46 de los fallecimientos, una situación que obligó a las autoridades a reabrir el aeropuerto de su capital tras un cierre preventivo por la gravedad de la crisis.

🚨La #OMS catalogó esta epidemia como una "emergencia de salud pública de importancia internacional", tras estimar que el virus comenzó a circular dos meses antes de su anuncio oficial. Actualmente, se reportan seis personas curadas, mientras que los equipos médicos mantienen bajo estricto aislamiento y vigilancia a más de un centenar de pacientes sospechosos para frenar la propagación de la enfermedad.

🏥El brote responde a la cepa de #Bundibugyo, una variante que registra una tasa de letalidad de entre el 30% y el 50%, y que carece de una vacuna autorizada o tratamiento específico. La emergencia ya traspasó las fronteras congoleñas expandiéndose hacia las provincias vecinas de Kivu del Norte y Kivu del Sur, así como a territorio de #Uganda, donde ya se contabilizan quince contagios y una víctima mortal.

Ebola returns to Italy as a surgeon with Doctors Without Borders: “She came into contact with infected patients.”

It is a surgical doctor, a field operative for Doctors Without Borders, the Italian woman who came into contact with patients who tested positive for the Ebola virus on May 16th, who had been linked to a cluster in a region of the Democratic Republic of Congo that had spread throughout the region in Africa. Ten countries are at risk. However, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has clarified that the risk of infection for the general population in Europe “remains very low.” Currently, there are no positive cases in Italy.

The Ministry has informed that activities are underway to safely return from the Congo the surgeon who worked at the health center in Salamat (Bunia-Ituri). The authorization for her return has been signed. The woman came into contact with patients who tested positive and operated on a child, injured in the explosion of a grenade, which is a suspected case. The result of this child’s test is not yet available. Currently, the operative does not present symptoms, will be transported immediately after landing today in Rome to the specialized Spallanzani Hospital for quarantine and active surveillance.

The isolation period estimated by the authorities is equal to the incubation period of the disease: 21 days. The outbreak located in the Ituri province was caused by the Budibugyo virus, which currently has no specific vaccines or therapies. The last Ebola outbreak in the DRC was identified in 2025, more than two thousand people died between 2018 and 2020. A few days ago, the African Union’s health agency (Africa CDC) declared ten other countries at risk as the epidemic is spreading rapidly. South Sudan, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Congo, Burundi, Angola, the Central African Republic and Zambia.

“The current epidemic is a cause for serious concern and, to many aspects, is not comparable to previous Ebola epidemics,” the ECDC has clarified, which has announced that field controls have been intensified. Authorities are working closely with partners to strengthen their presence through the EU’s health task force in support of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda and to “collect more detailed information on outbound screening.”

Ebola, a doctor returns to Italy after direct contact. “In quarantine at Spallanzani”

AGI - Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, contact with positive patients for the virus and the safe return to Italy for a surgeon. Then quarantine at Spallanzani in Rome. The Ministry of Health informs that activities are underway for the safe return of a female surgeon who operated at the health center in Salamat (Bunia-Ituri), in the Democratic Republic of Congo, during the current Ebola epidemic.

Ebola, Surgeon from Doctors Without Borders Returns to Italy
Authorization for return has been signed in Rome. The surgeon is a field operative for Doctors Without Borders. During her clinical activity, the surgeon came into contact with patients who later tested positive on May 16th. This is a case of direct contact.

The Doctor Will Be Taken to Spallanzani in Rome Today
The doctor also performed an urgent life-saving surgical procedure on a child victim of a grenade explosion on May 18th. The child is an Ebola suspect for which a test is still pending. The doctor is not showing symptoms at this time. The returning doctor will arrive in Rome today. She will be taken to Spallanzani in Rome for the necessary quarantine and active surveillance.

There Are No Ebola Cases in Italy
The Ministry of Health reminds that there are currently no Ebola cases in Italy and that the alarm is very low in our country. The Ministry is active from the first moment for all preparedness and surveillance activities and is continuing to monitor the evolution of the epidemiological picture in coordination with the territories and national and local health authorities.

The Farnesina: “€1.1 million for humanitarian aid”
To support the immediate humanitarian response to the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italian cooperation has allocated a funding of 1,150,000 euros. A contribution decided by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who ordered the funding with an act signed by Vice Minister Edmondo Cirielli. The Farnesina reported this in a note.

The funding will be made available to Italian civil society organizations with an operational presence in the provinces affected of Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu.

It involves immediate interventions to stop the transmission of Ebola, strengthen epidemiological surveillance, local health system response and the trust of communities in containment measures indicated by the World Health Organization.

Resources will focus on four priority areas identified by the United Nations agencies Ocha and Oms for the prevention and control of infections; epidemiological surveillance and contact tracing; immediate health assistance and community involvement.

Humanitarian Initiatives Already in Progress
This funding adds to two ongoing humanitarian initiatives funded by Italian Cooperation for a total value of 5.5 million euros for five projects carried out by civil society in the eastern provinces.

Direct Support to WHO
Italian Cooperation will also directly contribute with a support of 290 thousand euros to the crisis response action launched by the World Health Organization.

Ebola: Two suspected cases arriving from Uganda have been hospitalized in Milan; in Congo, treatment centers are on fire.

Two Italian aid workers who were considered at risk of Ebola in Milan have been hospitalized at the Sacco Hospital, a specialized facility for infectious diseases. One is a 31-year-old man and the other a 33-year-old woman, both aid workers who arrived in Milan from Malpensa airport via a flight from Addis Ababa and returning from Uganda, where they had spent three months with Combonian missionaries in a region bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In the country where the epidemic’s epicenter was identified, deaths continue to rise: official data from the Ministry of Health indicate 204 victims in three different provinces likely caused by the virus. The World Health Organization’s report from last Friday reported 177 deaths in the DRC out of 750 suspected cases, although the 82 officially reported cases and 7 deaths communicated by Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus were officially identified. A treatment tent for Ebola was set on fire in Mongbwalu, after angry and suspicious people set the fire due to the management of the health emergency. This had already happened in Rwampara a few days earlier.

The emergency continues to spread across Africa: the African Union’s health agency (Africa CDC) considers ten other countries at risk as the epidemic is spreading rapidly. These are: South Sudan, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Congo, Burundi, Angola, the Central African Republic, and Zambia. More than 50 international operators will arrive in affected areas to work alongside approximately 480 locally hired professionals. “The challenge today – explained Project Manager Valeria Greppi of Doctors Without Borders in Goma – is to treat patients with Ebola, trace their contacts, and at the same time ensure essential services and access to care for other diseases such as malaria, cholera, and HIV.” FIFA is also monitoring the outbreak: the national football team is expected to play in the World Cup, which will be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, in three weeks.

The alert in Milan was triggered at dawn in Lurate Caccivio and Bulgarograsso, in Comasco. Their tests will arrive this afternoon. The two aid workers returned to Italy with five other people. Both have shown symptoms consistent with the contagion: high fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and neurological symptoms. They were transported to the Sacco Hospital in two ambulances and admitted to isolation rooms, while at the same time, a precautionary isolation was implemented for their families. The 33-year-old’s daughter had been affected in Africa by malaria, and the situation currently known does not rule out the Ebola virus. She may be admitted to intensive care.

If the Ebola contagion emerges, the patient would be transferred to the Spallanzani Hospital in Rome, the only Italian center considered capable of treating the disease. Close contacts would also observe an isolation period equal to the estimated incubation period of the disease: 21 days. The localized outbreak in the Ituri province was caused by the Budibugyo virus, which currently has no specific vaccines or therapies. The last Ebola outbreak in the DRC was identified in 2025; between 2018 and 2020, more than 2,000 people died.
