Monkeypox is not a Covid-19 “repeat” guaranteed by the Minister of the United Kingdom.

“Like any new illness, and apparently after the Covid pandemic, we continue to monitor this very carefully,” Treasury Secretary Simon Clarke told Sky News.

“I think I’m cautious, but I’m certainly not worried about my ability to deal with the situation.

“There is an effective vaccine available for monkeypox. All evidence is that it is spread by physical contact.

Clark added: Of seriousness. “

Joe Biden also says that the smallpox vaccine works against monkeypox.

Asked if the United States has enough vaccine stockpiles to treat the monkeypox epidemic, “I think it’s enough to address the potential problem.”

The President of the United States has sought to alleviate concerns about recent cases of monkeypox around the world.

Joe Biden said the virus was “worrisome” over the weekend.

He has now stated, “I don’t think it will rise to the level of concern that existed in Covid-19.”

Briefly recall what you know about monkeypox so far.

Belgium has become the first country of 21-day forced quarantine for monkeypox patients.

Anyone who tests positive for monkeypox virus should self-separate for 3 weeks, according to Belgian health officials, after at least 4 cases have been confirmed.

More countries are reporting the first cases of monkeypox, but more are counting in countries where the virus is already present. Today, the outbreak is said to be “the largest and most widespread ever seen in Europe,” with dozens of countries reporting cases.

The UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed that 20 monkeypox cases have occurred in the country since the first case was detected on May 6. “We expected more cases to be detected through active case detection by the NHS Service and increased vigilance among medical professionals,” said Susan Hopkins.

In the United States, aggregates are expected to rise to 3 after health agencies test individuals in South Florida. The case in Broward County, Florida was “related to traveling abroad,” the CDC said on Sunday. The other two cases were detected in Massachusetts and New York City.

In Spain, a total of 30 cases were confirmed after 23 cases were confirmed in one day. Madrid saunas are associated with the majority of closed cases. Madrid officials said they are primarily working on tracking incidents from super-spreader events in the sauna.

Canada has confirmed five viruses since the first virus was detected on Friday. Officials said the state is continuing to investigate “tens” of possible cases across Canada, and more are expected to be confirmed in the coming days.

In Australia, at least two cases of monkeypox have occurred after monkeypox was detected in people returning from abroad. According to the Victorian Health Department, a man in his thirties who arrived in Melbourne on Monday was confirmed to be infected with the virus, and another case was identified in a man in his forties who recently traveled to Europe in Sydney.

The country has become the first country in the world to carry out 21-day quarantine for patients infected with the virus. There are at least 5 cases of the virus.

According to WHO, there are 21 to 30 confirmed cases in this country. According to officials, all Portuguese cases involve men, most of whom are young.

In Europe, other countries that have reported at least 1-5 infections are France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Germany.

Over the weekend, Austria, Israel and Switzerland have become the latest countries to identify the first cases of monkeypox virus.

The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) has identified the first case of monkeypox in Bern in a person with a history of traveling abroad. People are isolated and contact tracing is taking place.

“Currently, an accumulation of monkeypox infections has been observed in Europe and North America. The first case has also been identified in Switzerland (Bern),” he said.

On Sunday, Austria confirmed a suspected monkeypox case in Vienna. The person had a mild illness with a mild fever and acne on his face.

At the end of Saturday, Israel also confirmed the first case of the virus, making it the first case of monkeypox in the Middle East. The Israeli Ministry of Health said late Saturday that the man had been in good condition at a hospital in Tel Aviv. It called on people returning from abroad with fever and lesions to see a doctor.

The UK government states that high-risk contacts with monkeypox patients should be self-isolated for 3 weeks and avoid contact with children under the age of 12.

By issuing new guidance, the UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA) is currently recommending the isolation of people who have experienced “unprotected direct contact or high-risk environmental contact.”

The advisory does not include travel. Provides contact tracing details and avoids direct contact with immunosuppressed people, pregnant women and children under 12 years of age.
