Via L'infodrome: Ebola outbreak in Côte d'Ivoire: WHO worries about high risk of spread. I can't find the WHO report mentioned, but I'll keep looking. The Google translation:
The World Health Organization (WHO) fears a high risk of the spread of Ebola virus disease in Côte d'Ivoire. In a report that Linfodrome was able to consult, this Wednesday, August 18, 2021, this organization evokes a significant dispersion of people who have had contact with the confirmed case.
In a report on the epidemiological situation of the Ebola virus disease, WHO is concerned about the high risk of the spread of this disease in Côte d'Ivoire. The rating is 3 plus (+++). With a potentially large number of contacts. Worse, this report mentions a significant dispersion of people who have had contact with an Ebola patient (+++). With continuous cross-border movements (+++).
In addition, without wanting to push the population to panic, the world health specialist observed that the strain of virus currently circulating in Côte d'Ivoire is "unknown".
Another L'infodrome story has this to say:
According to a report from the World Health Organization (Oms-N ° 001 of August 17, 2021) that Linfodrome.ci was able to consult, there are 2 new suspected cases with no known link to the confirmed case. “The samples are being analyzed with the Institut Pasteur de Côte d'Ivoire,” the report said. Who mentions the presence of a case at the University Hospital Center (Chu) of Bouaké and another at the Chu of Treichville. Worse, "6 people who have been in contact with these patients are in quarantine at Vitib, in Grand Bassam", adds our source.
Côte d'Ivoire has recorded one confirmed case of Ebola virus patient and 0 deaths.
