[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]The Democratic Republic of Congo has confirmed that an outbreak of haemorrhagic fever in the north of the country has been identified as Ebola.[/b][/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]刚果民主共和国政府证实,国内北部地区爆发的出血热疫情实则埃博拉病毒。[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Health Minister Felix Numbi told the BBC that tests on two people had confirmed the disease in Equateur province, where 13 had already died. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]But he said the deaths occurred in an isolated area and the disease seemed a different strain to West Africa's.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Dr Numbi said a[b] quarantine(检疫,隔离)[/b] zone was being set up to contain the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/97804.html]disease[/url].[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The cases are the first reported outside West Africa since the outbreak there began.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]So far 1,427 people have died from the virus. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The speed and extent of the outbreak has been "unprecedented", the World Health Organization (WHO) says.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]An estimated 2,615 people in West Africa have been infected with Ebola since March.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]There is no known cure but some affected people have recovered after being given an experimental drug, ZMapp. However, supplies are now exhausted.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Also on Sunday, a British [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/97804.html]health[/url] worker infected with Ebola in Sierra Leone was flown back to the UK on an RAF jet. It is the first confirmed case of a Briton contracting the virus during the current outbreak.[/size][/font]
