Keevil that province has borne the brunt of the outbreak together with neighboring it but 15 people also in quarantine in south keevil which was previously unaffected. The 3rd confirmed case is the baby daughter off a minor who traveled from the north of the d. R. Sea to goa this is the 1st instance of direct transmission off ebola inside the city of more than 2000000 people. One year since the government of the democratic republic of the congo declared an outbreak of ebola in north kivu province and yesterday in goma a minor working in the province of each area became the citys 2nd case of a bowl of surveillance at all points of entry and points of control in the area are being stepped up this latest case in such a dense Population Center underscores the very real risk of a spike in disease transmission perhaps beyond the countrys border and the very urgent need for a strengthened Global Response and increased donor investment im joined now by. And if you to me on the just blow it is and be sherry tay hospital here in berlin welcome to africa so weve heard the u. N. Spokesperson calling for controls the government briefly shut the border was that the right moves. Thank you christine for having me on this dramatic question and Dramatic Development that we see and those 2 days no actually. The new 30 minutes ago that maybe the board is not closed. But whatever the reality let me say. 2 things here i clearly understand the concerns in rwanda with having this threat demick now in this large urban setting directly on the border between congo and rwanda but. And i know this crossing point from his its true saying last year with 40000 people crossing the border every day this is a situation that truly but from my experience as an m. S. F. Doctor and in west africa. We know that clues in regular. Board approved always have the risk of forcing people into the nonmoney toilet pathway i see i see and having said that that will have more information is being detected how great is the risk that you know this goes outside of the affected regions because you can connect to other parts of the continent through from goma. Excellent question i think. This border close to the border situation shows very much how important it is to 1st of all and build up trust with the population to not take steps that make. The population even more boring to make them hide away this is exactly what the bono ones ok the border wants to kill and spread in the darkness we have to illuminate that and we have to build a truck had been lost in the last. Epidemic in west africa affected 6 countries about 10000 people died whats different this time. This time we have much more support in the area thats true we have a vaccine which is. Which is effective but they see that despite all of these possibilities they have democrats going on and on and on that new spots. In those 2 or 12 months now we see that the population is not having this. We read earlier this year that about a 3rd of the population is not really believing that i have much more important issues apparently for them. And we have to build this trust up so that their present to the health bill is all right that is maximillian get not if you demanded it just from Doctors Without Borders and the Charity Hospital here and then and thank you. The city of goma is a major transport habit and help with because they are racing to find the people who had contacts with the latest on the patients but the. Density off the population anonymity and high mobility make it far harder to isolate patients and trace contacts compared to rural areas the w. H. O. Say the risk of regional spread is quote very high. My next guest is in the city often. And joins me on the line welcome to day debi africa asylum what is the situation in goma especially now more than that more cases have been confirmed where we have definitely seen a change in the behavior of the population when they 1st case was confirmed a couple of weeks ago and the u. S. Has the clear the emergency you know there was a little change in the behavior of the population people who were seeing it as a case that was isolated and not linked to a major a b. They make however in the past couple of days when the 2nd case was confirmed people are more aware of this and more health host who have been starved least in the among during or over the city with the growing water for washing their hands for this impacting also Health Workers taking the temperature of them over citizens and here is today 7 boats that connects goma this if you look of across the lake people were stopped at the port. Because there was a one suspected case of a patient in one of the of the boats so this was the 1st time that the population so like a very evident way you know emergency could have picked their lives here asylum when the 1st case was confirmed Health Officials in goa must say that they were preparing for the event that more cases would be confirmed what have you seen to that effect. Well clearly the health posts have been there multiplying especially in border post sound of the ports of course but basically everywhere in restaurants government Buildings Hotels on the street the middle of the street if we were there also 2 main Ebola Treatment Centers being set up by the state that one of the Central Hospital in goma but there is another one being set up on the road that connects goma and this is your bottom but one of the centers of the epidemic so far salim that the border with russia has now been closed give us a sense of how thats going to affect people perhaps how it is already affecting people well there has been an update regarding that the border was closed that this morning however just a couple of hours ago it was where you opened it had they were has been we have been receiving very contradictory information but we know that there was an official communication on the prison notification from there were under government to close the border and it was obviously that the congolese government rejected because they always had advised not to close borders and not to you know to reduce. Their travel travel restrictions you know to introduce travel restrictions among the 2 countries have very very busy border posts that were thousands of people daily crossed. As peacekeepers as migrants as traders that work in both bull work and live also in both sides of the border so to close the border you could actually have been see the next few days was definitely a pick the economy of the population here in goma.
