摘要

SARS-CoV-2在中国出现并传播到全球80多个地区，包括非洲的9个国家，这给资源匮乏的环境带来了微妙的局面。自2018年年中以来，由于预计刚果民主共和国的埃博拉病毒会在区域传播，东非和中非国家一直处于高度戒备状态。已作出大量投资，以支持加强入境点和医院的监测、感染控制做法、临床病例管理和临床研究。随着新的威胁即将到来，非洲国家有机会利用现有的埃博拉防范能力，为即将到来的威胁做好准备。

Leveraging investments in Ebola preparedness for COVID-19 in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in China and transmission to more than 80 territories worldwide, including nine countries in Africa, presents a delicate situation for low-resource settings. Countries in Eastern and Central Africa have been on high alert since mid-2018 in anticipation of regional spread of the Ebola virus from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Significant investment has been made to support enhanced surveillance at point of entry and hospitals, infection control practices, clinical case management, and clinical research. With a new threat on the horizon, African countries have an opportunity to leverage the existing capacities for Ebola preparedness to brace for the imminent threat.
