世卫组织非洲区域办公室周三表示，刚果(民主共和国)的埃博拉疫情仍在演变，疫情在感染人数和死亡人数方面持续扩大，病毒已蔓延至一个新的卫生区。
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to evolve, expanding geographically and in terms of infections and fatalities, the World Health Organization (WHO) Africa regional bureau said Wednesday as the virus spread to a new health zone.
世卫组织最新情况报告显示，自5月疫情宣布以来，刚果确诊病例已达9066例，其中包括4381例死亡。
The number of confirmed cases in Congo has reached 9,066, including 4,381 deaths, since the outbreak declaration in May, according to the latest WHO situation report.
疫情已波及七个省份：上乌埃莱、伊图里、北基伍、南基伍、巴斯乌埃莱、茨霍普和南乌班吉。
The epidemic has affected seven provinces -- Haut-Uele, Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Bas-Uele, Tshopo and South-Ubangi.
世卫组织称，巴斯乌埃莱省的达克瓦卫生区已成为受 Bundibugyo 病毒株影响的最新卫生区，自疫情爆发以来受影响的卫生区总数增至65个。报告指出，在受影响地区，传播仍呈高度异质性。
The WHO said the Dakwa health zone in Bas-Uele province has become the latest health zone affected by the Bundibugyo virus strain, bringing the number of affected health zones to 65 since the start of the outbreak. The report indicated that transmission remains highly heterogeneous in the affected regions.
伊图里仍是疫情的主要焦点，而在北基伍和上乌埃莱，传播仍然十分活跃。
Ituri remains the principal focus of the outbreak, while substantial transmission persists in North Kivu and Haut-Uele.
世卫组织该国事件经理凯瑟琳·斯瓦卢德表示，人们仍然担心社区中的高死亡率，目前约为60%。
Catherine Swallwood, incident manager at the WHO in the country, said there is still concern about the high number of deaths in communities, which stands at about 60%.
她还说，在最近几周，大约三分之一的新病例仍然是社区死亡，这意味着卫生当局未能在患者死亡前发现病例。
She said in recent weeks, about one-third of all new cases have still been community deaths, meaning health authorities are not detecting cases before the patients die.
此次疫情已成为刚果有史以来规模最大、死亡人数最多的埃博拉疫情，也是全球第二大埃博拉疫情，仅次于2014-2016年西非疫情。
The outbreak has become the largest and deadliest-ever recorded in Congo and the second-largest Ebola outbreak globally, after the 2014-2016 epidemic in West Africa.
非洲疾病预防控制中心（非洲CDC）呼吁加强区域准备，以防止埃博拉进一步扩散，此前肯尼亚上周报告了其首例输入性病例，病毒来源刚果。
The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has urged enhanced regional preparedness to avert additional spread of Ebola after Kenya reported its first imported case from Congo last week.
肯尼亚当局周三确认了一起由Bundibugyo毒株引起的埃博拉病例，患者是一名39岁男子，为该国首例确诊病例的密切家庭成员。
Kenyan authorities on Wednesday confirmed a second case of Ebola of the Bundibugyo strain, involving a 39-year-old man who is a close family member of the country’s first confirmed case.
