刚果（金）埃博拉疫情扩散 肯尼亚现首例、美国以旅行限制应对
刚果（金）今年5月中旬宣布爆发的埃博拉疫情仍在扩散，这是罕见的本迪布焦型病毒株。世界卫生组织称其为史上扩散最快的一次埃博拉疫情，累计病例已逾7,000例、死亡4,000余人，病死率约48%。
10月6至7日，肯尼亚确认首例输入病例：一名患者从刚果（金）经乌干达飞抵肯尼亚后死亡，显示疫情外溢风险上升。
美国自7月起实行「禁止登机」规定：21天内到过刚果（金）者不得乘机赴美，并在肯尼亚一处空军基地设有50张床位的隔离设施。路透社指出，在美国国际开发署关停、美国退出世卫组织后，美方应对以边境管控为主，援助角色被指弱化。（GSM 据路透社报道编译）
Congo Ebola Outbreak Spreads: Kenya Confirms First Case as U.S. Leans on Travel Curbs
The Ebola outbreak declared in the Democratic Republic of Congo in mid-May, caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain, continues to spread. The WHO calls it the fastest-spreading Ebola outbreak on record, with more than 7,000 cases and over 4,000 deaths, a fatality rate near 48%.
On Oct. 6–7, Kenya confirmed its first imported case: a patient who flew in from Congo via Uganda and later died, underscoring regional spillover risk.
Since July, the U.S. has enforced a "no-board" rule barring air travel to the U.S. for anyone who has been in Congo within 21 days, and maintains a 50-bed isolation facility at a Kenyan air base. With USAID shuttered and the U.S. out of the WHO, Reuters reports Washington's role has centered on border controls rather than aid. (GSM, from Reuters reporting)
