While health news remains dominated by the coronavirus pandemic in the DRC, the Ebola epidemic in the eastern provinces continues to sow desolation as the country approached the end of this disease.
The Beni health zone in North Kivu province has registered a new confirmed case of Ebola virus disease on April 27, 2020. It is a 39-year-old woman living in the health area from Kasanga, listed as contact for the confirmed case of April 10. Irregularly followed for safety reasons, this woman started to show signs of the disease on April 21 with an exposure period ranging from April 4 to 17. From the start of the signs until April 25, she stayed at home. It was on April 25 that she was admitted to the Ndindi cantonment site in Kanzulinzuli.
She was taken by ambulance to the Beni Transit Center after the alert launched by the response contact response teams because of the added signs. She was investigated, validated and confirmed positive the same day, then transferred to the Beni treatment center.
It should be noted that, this woman was discharged as a non-case on April 20 from the Ebola treatment center in Beni, where she was interned from April 17 to 20.
