卫生当局表示，所有感染病例仍局限于单一聚集性疫情，没有证据显示病毒已传播至该群体之外。其中包括一例死亡病例。
It includes one death, as health authorities said all infections remain confined to a single cluster with no evidence of transmission beyond it. "The Ministry of Health confirms one further case of the disease, bringing the total to nine (9) confirmed cases, including the first case, who died," Health Director General Patrick Amoth said in a statement.
卫生总干事帕特里克·阿莫斯在一份声明中说：“卫生部确认又一例病例，使确诊病例总数达到九例，其中包括首例病例，该患者已死亡。”

阿莫斯表示，其余八名存活的埃博拉患者对治疗反应良好，病情在密切医疗监督下有所好转。
"All nine cases belong to one cluster, and as of today there is no evidence of transmission outside this group," he said.

The ministry said it had traced and quarantined 134 of 135 identified contacts, representing 99.3%, exceeding the international contact-tracing benchmark of 85%.
卫生部表示，已追踪并隔离了135名已识别密切接触者中的134名，占比99.3%，超过了国际密切接触者追踪85%的基准。
