エボラ流行：ウガンダに飛び火

BBC DR Congo Ebola outbreak: Child in Uganda diagnosed with virus 11 June 2019

「Almost 1,400 have died in a recent outbreak in neighbouring DR Congo」とあり，DRコンゴで1400人ほどエボラで死亡する中，

「A five-year-old boy in Uganda has been diagnosed with Ebola, the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed.」

　隣国ウガンダでは5歳の男の子がエボラで死亡。この流行の中で，ウガンダでは初めての確認患者。

「The boy is said to have travelled across the border with his family from DR Congo on Sunday.
He was then taken to a Ugandan hospital after exhibiting symptoms including vomiting blood, officials said.」

　ということで，流行への素地はできているということに。但し

「Uganda has already vaccinated about 4,700 health workers against the disease, the joint statement by WHO and Ugandan health officials said.」

　ワクチン接種の用意ができた医療関係者ざっと4700名とか。対応にはそれなりの余裕が持てそう。それでも

「The outbreak in DR Congo has become the second biggest in history, with a significant spike in new cases noted in recent weeks.」

　DR Congo側の流行が重度化しつつあるようで，国境管理もできない以上，この余裕はさっくり喰いつぶされるおそれもなきにしもあらず。

　あ。
