世卫组织、瑞士及非洲最高卫生机构称患者在乌干达感染埃博拉,乌干达予以否认该患者在乌干达停留两周后抵达尼日利亚,引发了对这个已于8月被宣布无埃博拉疫情的国家可能出现传播的担忧。乌干达官员声称该患者近期曾到过疫情仍在蔓延的刚果民主共和国,但世界卫生组织和非洲最高卫生机构周四表示,他们尚未收到该女性曾前往该地的确认信息。瑞士联邦外交部周四曾对路透社表示,据信该女性是在乌干达旅行期间感染埃博拉病毒的。
Ugandan officials claimed that the patient had recently been in the DRC, where the outbreak is still spreading, but the World Health Organization and Africa's top health agency said on Thursday that they had not received confirmed information that the woman had traveled there. The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs had on Thursday told Reuters that the woman was believed to have contracted Ebola while traveling in Uganda.
乌干达政府发言人艾伦·卡苏贾周四对路透社表示,乌干达没有埃博拉病例,如果有,乌干达会公开这一信息。
Ugandan government spokesperson Alan Kasujja told Reuters on Thursday that Uganda had no Ebola cases and that if it did, it would make that information public.
