In this file photo taken on January 07, 2011 this handout photo provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was taken in 1997 during an investigation into an outbreak of monkeypox, which took place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and depicts the dorsal surfaces of a monkeypox case in a patient who was displaying the appearance of the characteristic rash during its recuperative stage. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said June 3, 2022 it was aware of more than 700 global cases of monkeypox, including 21 in the United States, with investigations now suggesting it is spreading inside the country.

MANILA, Philippines — “Patuloy na i-monitor ang mga lugar at tao na itinuturing na ‘most vulnerable’ sa Mpox.”

Ito ang ipinag-utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sa lahat ng ahensiya ng gobyerno at sa kanyang pakikipagpulong kay Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa at iba pang opisyal.

Sinabi ni Herbosa sa Pangulo na ang DOH ay nakapagtala ng 10 kaso ng Mpox simula 2023. Ang lahat ng pasyente ay gumaling.

Winika pa ng Kalihim na ‘no public emergency’ sa Mpox, tinukoy nito ang mababang bilang ng kaso at ang fatality rate ng sakit. Sinabi pa niya na ang naturang sakit ay hindi airborne.

“Unlike Covid-19, which is airborne, Mpox may only be transmitted through intimate or skin to skin physical contact with someone who is infected or with conta­minated materials,” ang paliwanag ni Herbosa.

Ang Mpox o monkey pox ay isang viral illness sanhi ng monkeypox virus, ayon sa World Health Organization (WHO).

Ang common na sintomas ng Mpox ay skin lesions o pagsusugat ng balat na tatagal ng dalawa hanggang apat na linggo na may kasamang lagnat, sakit ng ulo, muscle aches, back pain, low energy, at mga namamagang lymph nodes.

Tiniyak naman ni Herbosa sa Pangulo na handa ang DOH na gamutin at i-manage ang Mpox.
