"Ebola" is the name of a river in the northern part of the Congo (DRC) (formerly known as Zaire). In 1976, an unknown virus came here, madly killing the people in 55 villages along the "Ebola" river, causing hundreds of lives to be destroyed. Some families were not even spared, and the "Ebola virus" was also affected by this. Named after.
After three years (1979), the "Ebola" virus raged in Sudan again, and corpses spread all over the country. After two "atrocities", the "Ebola" virus mysteriously disappeared for many years and disappeared without a trace.
In 2019, the Ebola epidemic will reappear!
As of April 4, 2019, the total number of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo reached 1,100, of which 1,034 were confirmed and 66 were suspected, with a total of 690 deaths.
On April 12, 2019, the World Health Organization stated that although the number of people infected with the Ebola virus in Congo (DRC) has increased in the past few weeks, the epidemic has not yet constituted a public health emergency of international concern. Nevertheless, the prevention and control of the epidemic still requires all parties to redouble their efforts.
As of August 21, 2019, Congo (DRC) has reported a total of 2,934 confirmed and probable Ebola cases, including 1965 deaths.
On July 17, 2019, the WHO declared the Congo (DRC) Ebola epidemic as a public health emergency.
On September 21, 2019, Congolese (DRC) health officials announced the introduction of the second Ebola vaccine in response to the domestic Ebola epidemic. The vaccine to be introduced is developed by Johnson & Johnson. The vaccine previously put into use in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was manufactured by Merck in the United States. Since August 2018, more than 225,000 people have been vaccinated and the effect is obvious. Uganda and Guinea have begun to vaccinate Johnson & Johnson's vaccines on a trial basis. Johnson & Johnson’s vaccines need to be vaccinated twice with an interval of 8 weeks. Merck’s vaccine needs to be vaccinated once.
