Responding to the Challenge of the Dual COVID-19 and Ebola Epidemics in the Democratic Republic of Congo—Priorities for Achieving Control	2020-06-19		.txt	text/plain	2305	116	51	With other African countries, the DRC faces the challenge of striking a balance between easing public health lockdown measures to curtail the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and minimizing both economic hardships for large sectors of the population and negative impacts on health services for other infectious and noninfectious diseases. Building on the DRC's 40 years of experience with 10 previous EVD outbreaks, we highlight the DRC's multi-sectoral public health approach to COVID-19, which includes community-based screening, testing, contact-tracing, risk communication, community engagement, and case management. [2] [3] [4] The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) recently experienced its tenth Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, the second largest globally after the 2014-2016 West African epidemic, which was recently brought under control. A multi-sectoral national committee to organize the COVID-19 response was created following the diagnosis of the first confirmed cases ( Figure 2 ) using lessons learned from the tenth EVD outbreak.	./cache/cord-280164-dukccrjb.txt	./txt/cord-280164-dukccrjb.txt
