Ihitana abantu batanu barimo n’umukozi w’ubuzima, yagize ibimenyetso byerekana umuriro, kuruka, kuva amaraso k’umubiri, no kunanirwa kw’impyiko.
Nyuma y’iki cyorezo, guverinoma yafashe icyemezo cyo gushyira mu bikorwa no guteza imbere ingamba z’ubuzima rusange kugira ngo iki cyorezo gikumirwe kandi irusheho gukumira icyorezo cy’ibanze ndetse n’amahanga mu rwego rwo kubahiriza amabwiriza mpuzamahanga y’ubuzima yo mu 2005.
Mu nama ngishwanama nomero 12 yo mu 2023, yatanzwe na minisitiri w’ubuzima uhoraho wa minisitiri w’ubuzima Dr Seif Shekalaghe, ku ya 22 Werurwe itangira byihuse kugira ngo ishyire mu bikorwa ingamba zifatika zijyanye n’ingendo mpuzamahanga.
Abantu bose bari k’urutonde rw’abashakishwa bagomba gukurikiranwa buri gihe kandi bakirinda kuva aho bari bonyine ndetse n’ingendo.
Ahantu hose winjirira (ikibuga cyindege, kwambuka hasi cyangwa icyambu), ubushyuhe bw’umubiri bw’abagenzi bose buzasuzumwa. Abantu bose bafite ibibazo by’umuriro bagomba kubuzwa gutembera mu gihugu no hanze yacyo kugeza barangije igihe cyo kugenzura kandi bagahabwa uruhushya rwo gukora n’ikigo cy’ubuzima ku cyambu.
Abagenzi bose bazahabwa amakarita y’amakuru y’ubuzima afite nimero itishyurwa, ari 199 kandi bagirwa inama yo kwikurikiranira hafi no gutanga ibimenyetso byose n’ibimenyetso bya MVD. Abafite ibimenyetso n’ibimenyetso bazageragezwa kandi bavurirwe ku bigo nderabuzima bya leta.
Ubujyanama bugira buti: “Mu gihe mu gihugu, abagenzi mpuzamahanga bose bagomba kubahiriza ingamba zo gukumira no kurwanya indwara nko kugira isuku y’intoki, guhana intera y’umubiri, no kumenyekanisha ikimenyetso cyangwa ibimenyetso byose bakoresheje nimero itishyurwa.“
Abashinzwe gutwara abantu bose bagomba kubahiriza gukumira no kurwanya indwara, harimo isuku y’amaboko, no kugira isuku ku mubiri kandi ugakaraba intoki buri kanya.
Abagenzi bose bagomba kubahiriza ingingo zinjira, gusohoka n’ingamba zo gusuzuma mu gihugu zishyirwa mu bikorwa mu gihugu. Ibi bikubiyemo kubahiriza ingamba zo gukumira abagenzi n’abakozi nk’isuku y’intoki, n’intera y’umubiri.

Mu itangazo ryashyizwe ahagaragara ku ya 21 Werurwe 2023, yagize ati: “Turimo gukorana na guverinoma mu rwego rwo kwihutisha ingamba zo kugenzura ikwirakwizwa rya virusi no guhagarika icyorezo vuba bishoboka.”
Indwara ya virusi ya Marburg ni indwara idasanzwe kandi yica yagiye rimwe na rimwe itera indwara mu bihugu byinshi bya Afurika. Ikwirakwizwa no guhura n’amaraso cyangwa amazi yo mu mubiri w’umuntu wanduye virusi ya Marburg.
Ikwirakwizwa kandi no guhura n’ibintu byanduye (nk’imyambaro, ibitanda, inshinge, n’ibikoresho byo kwa muganga) cyangwa guhura n’inyamaswa, nk’ibibabi na primates zidafite ubumuntu, banduye virusi ya Marburg.
Indwara ya virusi ya Marburg ni virusi itera virusi. Ibimenyetso birimo umuriro, gukonja, kubabara umutwe, kubabara imitsi, kubabara mu muhogo, impiswi, kuruka, kubabara mu gifu, kubabara mu gatuza, no kuva amaraso cyangwa gukomeretsa bidasobanutse. Kwandura virusi ya Marburg akenshi byica. Nta muti wihariye cyangwa urukingo rwemewe rw’indwara ya virusi ya Marburg.
OMS ivuga ko nta nkingo cyangwa imiti igabanya ubukana yemerewe kuvura virusi. Nyamara, ubuvuzi bufasha hamwe n’amazi yo mu kanwa cyangwa imitsi no kuvura ibimenyetso byihariye, biteza imbere kubaho.
Mu mwaka wa 2008, umukerarugendo w’Ubuholandi yarwaye indwara y’amaraso ya Marburg nyuma yo gusubira mu Buholandi avuye muri Uganda, hanyuma arapfa.
Muri 2008 kandi, umugenzi w’umunyamerika yarwaye indwara ya hemorhagie ya Marburg nyuma yo gusubira muri Amerika avuye muri Uganda arakira.
Abagenzi bombi bari basuye ubuvumo buzwi cyane butuwe n’imbuto muri parike y’igihugu. Nta muti wemerewe kuvura virusi ya Marburg. Abantu basuzumwe virusi ya Marburg bahabwa ubuvuzi bubafasha no kuvurwa n’ibibazo. Abahanga baragenda begerageza gutegura inkingo zizi ndwara zica.
