There are fears the abode of virus may spread again in the democratic republic of congo this after a patient who tested positive escaped from a clinic in the eastern city of beni the World Health Organization says this is complicated efforts to contain the disease the country was expected to clear the end of its largest ever outbreak earlier this month but since last week 6 infections have been confirmed the epidemic has killed more than 2000 people since it broke out in august 2008 t. I list but not to isaac because she is a specialist in Infectious Diseases and tropical medicine also a professor of medicine at the university of toronto who joins us on skype from toronto because thanks for joining us here on the program as i say they were close to calling it a done deal that the epidemic was over but then this new chain of infection was discovered. Thats really too bad i mean it was so close this this epidemic in the. Eastern part of the democratic or the democratic republic of congo has been going on since 2018 its infected about 3600 People Killed about 2200 people and its just everyone was so. Really upset when we heard about these new cases emerging because it was thought that really this this epidemic was was over now of course this is a major setback and they really have to find any possible contact to these positive cases to really make sure that theres no further spread in the community right and sees a patient run away from the sent away he was being treated say their own but its extremely likely they will be secondary infections yeah absolutely absolutely and of course we know how difficult some of the teams have had it working in that part of the democratic republic of congo Contact Tracing is challenging sometimes there are you know hostile individuals towards the Health Care Teams the logistics have been challenging but you know fortunately the Public Health teams of the democratic republic of congo have tremendous experience working. With it in a bowl of virus epidemics and have excellent training and have a very good track record of getting this under control so im confident that theyll be able to do so but of course it will be without hurdles and and it just might take a bit more time than initially anticipated and thats what has to be done its all about come type tracing now as it is trying to find out who this patient has been in contact with and kind of closing them off. 100 percent 100 percent and of course that can be a very difficult issue if someone has clearly run away and doesnt want to be found we have no idea what or who that person had been in contact with and it really takes a big team of community Public Health specialists to really talk to individuals who might have seen where this person might have gone you know theyll probably chat with the family as well maybe this person went back to their home or or is hanging out with friends so it really is some very very detailed work and of course anyone that this person has come into contact with has to be educated and informed of what to do should this person come down with signs or symptoms suggestive of infection i should remind people too that there are some excellent Vaccines Available now for a goal a virus there are some excellent treatments available for ebola virus and the mortality rates dont have to be as high as we historically thought they were and many of these vaccines and treatments are now being implemented in this outbreak in the democratic republic of congo so people seek health care they will actually have a much better chance of survival but it doesnt help the d. L. C. As the old dealing with the color epidemic has problems with measles and now cools 19 its really status as you point out its just this is just you know its never a good time for ebola virus but this is a much worse time for people a virus and of course you know you know sadly the low Income Countries are going to be disproportionately affected by by these epidemics and by hope at 19 and of course theres theres color there and now you bowl of virus which we thought was going to be quelled is may may end up flaring up its going to be a very challenging time and of course there are limited Resources Available even though there is a tremendous outpouring from the Global Community this is still a limited resort setting and and of course it is going to be an uphill battle especially when theyre contending with these other issues.
