埃博拉卷土重来

A second person who had contracted the Ebola virus died this week in the Democratic Republic of Congo, marking another outbreak just three months after the nation outlasted the virus's second-worst outbreak in history.

本周刚果民主共和国已有第二人死于埃博拉病毒,这意味着在经历了史上第二严重的疫情的三个月后,病毒卷土重来了。

世界卫生局局和刚果卫生部长在周四的声明中说,最新的患者来自基伏省。

This death comes one week after a 42-year-old woman died from Ebola.

而一周前,有一名四十二岁的女士死于埃博拉病毒。

The wife of an Ebola survivor, she entered an intensive care unit Feb. 4 and died the same day.

她是一名埃博拉幸存者的太太,于二月四日进入重症病房,于当日去世。

She was buried on Feb. 5, but not under proper burial practices to prevent the spread of Ebola; during prior outbreaks, the handling of bodies was kept to a minimum and done by trained teams.

她于二月五日下葬,但并未遵照适当的可以防止病毒传播的方式;在之前的疫情期间,人们都按照最简易的方式,由受训过的人员来安葬遗体。

The lab confirmed she tested positive for Ebola the day after she was buried.

在下葬后一天,实验室确认她病毒检测为阳性。

During her illness, the woman visited three health centers after first seeking treatment following symptoms of a nosebleed on Jan. 25.

一月二十五日因为流鼻血而就医后,该女士先后去过三家医疗中心。

As of Feb. 8, health investigators were able to track a total of 117 contacts with the woman.

二月八日,调查员发现她曾接触过117人。

这次疫情是埃博拉在刚果的第十二次爆发了。

Thousands of people have died from the virus in Congo in recent years.

近年来,刚果已有上千人死于埃博拉病毒。

An outbreak that began in 2018 and the WHO declared over in June 2020 killed more than 2,000 people.

2018年爆发,世界卫生局宣布于2020年结束的疫情就夺走了两千多人的生命。

这次疫情的爆发加上该国和世界上其他国家都在对抗新冠疫情,将会给该国的医疗机构带来更大压力。
