Experts from the Congolese health ministry are due in the northern region of country Thursday to coordinate a response to latest outbreak of the Ebola virus.

Officials confirmed four cases of the Ebola virus in the North Kivu province area of Democratic Republic of the Congo, a week after Congolese and U.N. health officials announced the end of a separate outbreak that killed 33 people in the country’s northwest.

There is no evidence yet suggesting the two outbreaks in the Congo are linked.

The health ministry said there were 26 cases of hemorrhagic fever in the North Kivu province, including 20 deaths.

Six samples from these patients were tested, and four tested positive for Ebola.

Officials have said they now feel better prepared for Ebola outbreaks, in sharp contrast to the 2017 epidemic of the virus, which killed more than 11,000 people, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

刚果卫生部专家星期四前往该国北部地区，协调应对新爆发的埃博拉病毒疫情。

刚果官员证实在北基伍省发现了4个埃博拉病例。一星期前，刚果和联合国的卫生官员宣布刚果西北地区造成33人死亡的埃博拉疫情解除。

目前没有任何证据显示这两个地方的埃博拉疫情有关联。

刚果卫生部说，北基伍省出现了26个出血热病例，其中20人死亡。

对这些病人中的6人进行了化验，其中4人感染了埃博拉病毒。
