世卫组织于8月24日收到刚果民主共和国通报,该国赤道省Jeera县发生一起埃博拉病毒病疫情。这次疫情共造成66例埃博拉病毒病病例,包括8位卫生保健工作者,疫情与殃及西非的疫情没有关联。到11月20日时,自最后一位病例在经两次检测呈阴性反应并出院后已经过去42天。按照世卫组织的建议,一旦在过去的42天内没有发现新发病例就可宣布某一国家的埃博拉病毒病疫情结束。42天属于埃博拉最长潜伏期(21天)的两倍。
On 24 August, WHO received a notification from the Democratic Republic of the Congo that an Ebola virus disease outbreak occurred in Jeera County, Equateur Province. The outbreak caused 66 cases of Ebola virus disease, including 8 health-care workers. The outbreak was not linked to the epidemic that affected West Africa. By November 20, 42 days have elapsed since the last case was negative after two tests and was discharged. In accordance with WHO’s recommendations, the outbreak of Ebola virus disease in one country can be declared out in the absence of any new cases in the past 42 days. 42 days is double the maximum incubation period of Ebola (21 days).
