Quand meme une bonne nouvelle.
from Ocean Press:
Praia - 14 August - The Minister of Health, Cristina Fontes, today confirmed that a ship from Sierra Leone, one of the countries affected by the Ebola virus is in quarantine near the islet of P?ssaros in S?o Vicente.
The news was released today by the newspaper A Na??o which said that the Chinese ship left Sierra Leone on 31st July and is off the Port since last week.
"The boat came out less than 21 days from the port in question, and in this case we put it in quarantine to make sure that all is well. The boat has been visited by health authorities, it was confirmed that there was no one with symptoms, but will be quarantined until completing the 21 days so there is no risk", said the minister.
Cristina Fontes reaffirm the country's decision of not closing the borders with Africa, explaining that in case of risk, the archipelago needs this connection.
"Right now we do not talk of closing the border. First because WHO does not recommend but also because we need to have an anchor. Reference laboratories to confirm cases of Ebola are in Dakar, if we need, we have to go there. The devices will also come quickly in Africa, an archipelago country has to weigh this decision. But we have the sovereign ability to make other decisions in terms of risk assessment", she said.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Marisa Morais, and the holder for Health, Cristina Fontes Lima, were this Thursday having a training on Ebola for National Police officers.
The ceremony takes place at the National Training Centre of the National Police, in Praia.
The course will be taught by experts from the Ministry of Health and aims to empower agents of the National Police Command, the tax-Guard, Border and Maritime Police, on the Ebola virus, its symptoms, and methods of transmission and how to prevent this disease that kills.

Tout semble ok.
Um navio proveniente de Serra Leoa, um dos pa?ses afectados pelo v?rus do ?bola que j? matou mais de mil pessoas em ?frica, est? de quarentena perto do ilh?u dos P?ssaros, em S?o Vicente. A medida foi decretada pelas autoridades sanit?rias do pa?s como forma de preven??o ? entrada desse mort?fero v?rus.
O navio, de bandeira chinesa, chegou a S?o Vicente no passado dia 5 de Agosto e recebeu a visita n?o s? das autoridades mar?timas, como de uma equipa da Delegacia de Sa?de que fez a abordagem inspectiva. Na sequ?ncia, decretou-se a quarentena de 21 dias, tempo m?ximo de incuba??o do v?rus, a contar da data da sa?da da embarca??o da Serra Leoa. Ou seja, desde o dia 31 de Julho at? 21 de Agosto pr?ximo.
Embora n?o se tenha detectado nada de anormal no navio, segundo uma fonte do Minist?rio de Sa?de, a medida faz parte do pacote de preven??o e vigil?ncia nos portos e aeroportos de Cabo Verde. Isso num momento em que, como informa a Ag?ncia de Not?cias do Senegal, registou-se no ?ltimo s?bado em Uro a Tampa, cidade no norte do pa?s, uma pessoa suspeita de estar infectada com o v?rus e, dada a proximidade com aquele pa?s, os cuidados devem ser redobrados para impedir que o mesmo chegue a Cabo Verde.
EPIDEMIA
A ?frica Ocidental est? a bra?os com o surto do ?bola mais perigoso de sempre, que est? longe de estar controlado. Ali?s, a epidemia alastra-se a um ritmo tal que a Organiza??o Mundial de Sa?de (OMS) decidiu permitir tratamentos "n?o homologados", ?sob a reserva de que determinadas condi?es sejam cumpridas".
