UGANDA (eTN) - Umbono weSunday uqinisekisile amarhe avela kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba ityala le-Ebola liqinisekisiwe e-Uganda. Isigulana se-alpha esichaziweyo kuthiwa sishiyeke kwisibhedlele i-Bombo Military Hospital malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-60 ngaphandle kwekomkhulu laseKampala, kwaye malunga nabantu abalishumi elinambini ngoku kuthiwa baphantsi kwesifo kwaye babekwe iliso kuyo nayiphi na imiqondiso yokuqhambuka kwesi sifo.
Ityala laqinisekiswa xa isampulu yegazi yavavanywa inesifo i-Ebola kwiziko lase-Atlanta elisekwe kuLawulo lweZifo (CDC) phakathi kwiveki ephelileyo, kodwa ulwazi ngokwalo luqale ukusasaza nangaphambi kokuba iziphumo zingene, oko kwabangela ukuba iSebe lezeMpilo likhawuleze. Yenza iqela elineenjongo zokufumana imvelaphi yokuqhambuka, uchonge umntu onxibelelana naye, kwaye uziqulathe kwiiyunithi zodwa zezibhedlele okanye ekhaya.
Ukuqhambuka kokugqibela eNtshona Uganda kwenzeka ngo-2007, xa abantu abangama-37 babhubha phantse kwizigulana ezili-150 ezasulelweyo. Isilinganiselo sokufa esisezantsi sasichazwa kukusabela ngokukhawuleza kwebutho lezempilo laseUganda ngokubambisana namaqabane abo aphesheya, awayequka abasebenzi beWorld Health Organisation (WHO) kunye neCDC ngelo xesha. Ukuqhambuka kwexesha elidlulileyo kuye kwavela kwiindawo ezinzulu zamahlathi aseMpuma yeCongo kunye namahlathi kwaye ziziswa kumazwe angummelwane ngenxa yokungazi ngabantu abasulelekileyo kunye nokungabikho kwabasebenzi bezempilo abaqeqeshiweyo abakwaziyo ukubona isifo kwaye baphakamise.
Amagosa sele eyicacisile into yokuba abakhenkethi kunye nabakhenkethi kwezoshishino akufuneki bakhathazeke, njengoko amanyathelo okuqulatha izinto abekwa kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo kwaye njengoko kunjalo nakanjani na ukuba bangadibana nabani na osulelekileyo kwaye engekabekwa yedwa.
