---First Ebola case recorded in DRC city of Goma


---Àrùn Ebola àkọ́kọ́ ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ìlú Goma ní Orílẹ̀-èdè Ìjọba Àwarawa Olómìnira Congo.


The first case of Ebola in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city, Goma, was discovered on Sunday, officials said, raising concerns the virus could spread quicker in a densely populated area close to the Rwandan border.

Goma, a lakeside city of 1 million people, is more than 350 km south of where the second-largest Ebola outbreak on record was first detected a year ago.

How Ebola spread to Goma


Bí àrùn Ebola ṣ̣e wọ ìlú Goma


The patient was a priest who became infected during a visit to the town of Butembo, 200 km north of Goma, where he interacted with Ebola patients, Congo's health ministry said in a statement.


"Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ ilé-ìwòsàn náà ṣe sọ, àlùfáà ni ẹni tí ó lugúdẹ àrùn náà lásìkò t""ó wá sí ìlú Butembo, ìbùsọ̀ 200 sí àríwá Goma, níbi tí ó ti ṣàgbákò àwọn ènìyàn tó ní àrùn Ebola."


He developed symptoms last week before taking a bus to Goma on Friday. When he arrived in Goma on Sunday he went to a clinic where he tested positive for Ebola.


"Àwọn àmì àrùn náà bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní máa jẹyọ lọ́sẹ̀ t""ó kọ́ja lásìkò kí ó t ó wọ́kọ akéròpúpọ̀ lọ sí Goma lọ́jọ́ Ẹtì. Nígbà tí ó dé Goma lọ́jọ́ Àìkú ni ó lọ sílé ìwòsàn, níbi tí àyẹ̀wò ti fi hàn pé ó ní àrùn Ebola."


"""Due to the speed with which the patient has been identified and isolated, as well as the identification of all bus passengers from Butembo, the risk of spreading to the rest of the city of Goma remains low,"" the ministry said."


"Gẹ́gẹ́ bí iléeṣẹ́ ètò ìlera ṣe sọ ""látàrí ìjáfara kẹ́fin alárùn náà àti bí ó ti ṣe wà ní ìyàsọ́tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀, àti ìṣèdánimọ̀ gbogbo àwọn èrò ọkọ̀ láti Butembo, ewu ìfọ́nká sí àwọn agbègbè tí ó kù ní Goma kéré."" wọn ní gbogbo ibùdókọ̀"


Goma has been preparing for the arrival of Ebola for a year, setting up hand-washing stations and making sure motorcycle riders do not share helmets.

But in more rural areas, the virus has been hard to contain. Local mistrust of health officials and militia violence have hobbled containment efforts, and caused the number of new cases to spike.

The first case of Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern city of Goma is a potential game-changer in the scale of the outbreak, World Health Organization Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
