Ukuhlolwa kwelebhu kwenziwa ngemuva kokuthi abantu abayisishiyagalombili esifundeni bethole izimpawu zesifo “esinobudlova kakhulu,” okuhlanganisa umkhuhlane, ukuhlanza, ukopha, kanye nokwehluleka kwezinso.
Amacala amahlanu kwayisishiyagalombili aqinisekisiwe aseshonile, okuhlanganisa nomsebenzi wezempilo, kanti abathathu abasele balashwa. Le nhlangano iphinde yahlonza abathintwayo abayi-161 balabo abangenwe yileli gciwane, okumanje baqashwe ngeso lokhozi.
“Imizamo yeziphathimandla zezempilo eTanzania yokuthola imbangela yalesi sifo i inkomba ecacile yokuzimisela ukuphendula ngempumelelo kulokhu kuqubuka. Sisebenzisana nohulumeni ukukhuphula ngokushesha izindlela zokulawula ukumisa ukubhebhetheka kwaleli gciwane futhi kuqedwe ukubhebhetheka ngokushesha okukhulu,” kusho uDkt Matshidiso Moeti, weWorld Health Organisation.WHO) Umqondisi Wesifunda sase-Afrika.
Yize kungokokuqala iTanzania iqopha icala laseMarburg, izwe linolwazi lokuqala lokuphendula kwezinye izinkinga ezihlanganisa Covid-19, ikholera, nodenga phakathi neminyaka emithathu edlule. NgoSepthemba 2022, isikhungo sezempilo se-UN senze ucwaningo lwengozi oluveza ukuthi izwe lisengozini enkulu kakhulu yokuqubuka kwezifo ezithathelwanayo.
“Izifundo ezifundiwe, nenqubekela phambili eyenziwe ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwakamuva kufanele ime izwe endaweni enhle njengoba ibhekene nale nselelo yakamuva,” kusho uDkt Moeti. "Sizoqhubeka nokusebenzisana eduze neziphathimandla zezempilo kuzwelonke ukusindisa izimpilo."
Igciwane le-Marburg livamise ukubangela imfiva yokopha, enesilinganiso sokufa esiphezulu esingafika kumaphesenti angama-88.
Kuyingxenye ye- umndeni ofanayo negciwane elibangelayo Ebola. Izimpawu ezihambisana negciwane iMarburg ziqala ngokuzumayo, nomkhuhlane ophakeme, ikhanda elibuhlungu, kanye nokugula okunamandla, kusho i-WHO.
Leli gciwane livame ukuthelelana kubantu lisuka kumalulwane ezithelo futhi lisakazeka ngokuthintana ngokuqondile noketshezi lomzimba lwabantu abanaleli gciwane, indawo engaphezulu, nezinto ezisetshenziswayo.
Ngenkathi zikhona ayikho imithi yokugoma noma imithi elwa namagciwane egunyaziwe ukwelapha igciwane, ukunakekelwa okusekelayo, ukubuyisela amanzi emzimbeni, kanye nokwelashwa kwezimpawu ezithile kwandisa amathuba okusinda.
