DAKAR, Senegal — (AP) — Congo’s health ministry on Thursday announced a new Ebola outbreak, the 16th in the central African country, after a case was confirmed in the southern Kasai province.
“To date, the provisional report shows 28 suspected cases and 15 deaths, including 14 in Boulapé and 1 in Mweka, as well as four healthcare workers,” said Samuel-Roger Kamba, Congo’s health minister.
He added that the case fatality rate, estimated at 53.6%, showed the gravity of the situation.
He said that the figures were provisional and research was ongoing. The suspected cases and deaths presented symptoms such fever, vomiting, diarrhoea and haemorrhage.
The confirmed case was of a 34-year-old pregnant woman in the locality of Boulape, in the southern Kasai province.
The World Health Organization said Thursday it dispatched its experts alongside Congo’s Rapid Response Team to Kasai Province to strengthen disease surveillance, treatment and infection prevention and control in health facilities. It is also delivering supplies including personal protective equipment, mobile laboratory equipment and medical supplies.
Congo has a stockpile of treatments and of the Ervebo Ebola vaccine, the WHO said.

Probably all the germs make their immune systems pretty strong.
Explains why COVID never affected Africa, COVID was child’s play to their immune systems.

I remember reading of the first vaccines sent to Africa. In talks with a head man of a tribe who had lost many children, he was told the vaccines would keep them alive..
The chief’s response was...”Then who will feed them?”
I’ll say one thing about the Africans: they have more bad diseases to worry about than anyone, anywhere.
I remember when a few years back, Ebola was one of the many Nicknames for Obama.
There were several, Barry, Obummer, Obeyme, Obonehead,
O’Biden, One-Big-A**-Mistake-America,
and of course, the ever popular: “The Kenyan”.
I think it was primarily the easy and widespread availability of that horse paste that didn't work that protected them from COVID.
Very curious, considering that Africans built all of modern civilization.
I think it was primarily the easy and widespread availability of that horse paste that didn't work that protected them from COVID.
That, and the hydroxychloroquine they take to ward off malaria.
Send Joy Reid back there. She’s Congolese.
GREAT idea!
