This new outbreak of Ebola will be the 10thin Congo's history, more than twice as many as any other country.

这次的埃博拉疫情将是刚果历史上第十次出现这种疫情，这将是其他国家发生疫情数量的两倍多。

Yet international aid teams moved muchquicker in response in Congo, implementing vaccination campaigns in severalregions.

因此国际救援队在刚果采取了更快的行动，在几个地区实施了疫苗接种运动。
