China to manage mpox as disease on par with COVID-19 after recording 501 cases in August
China plans to manage mpox — formerly know as monkeypox— in the same way it handles infectious diseases such as COVID-19 after detecting around 500 cases of the viral infection in August.
Key points:
- China’s National Health Commission says mpox will be managed under Category B protocols from September 20
- Category B infectious diseases currently include COVID-19, AIDS and SARS
- In August, China reported 501 new mpox infections, with no severe cases or deaths
The National Health Commission (NHC) said mpox would be managed under Category B protocols from September 20.
Under this category, China could take emergency measures such as restricting gatherings, suspending work and school or sealing off areas when there is an outbreak of a disease.
Category B infectious diseases currently include COVID-19, AIDS and SARS.
“Over 20 provinces have reported monkeypox cases in China since the first imported case in September 2022 and the beginning of locally transmitted cases in June 2023, triggering continued outbreaks and ‘hidden’ transmissions,” the NHC said.
China puts infectious diseases into three classes, with the top level Category A giving authorities the power to quarantine patients and their close contacts.
China downgraded the management of COVID-19 to Category B from Category A at the end of 2022 after almost three years of strict restrictions that included locking down entire cities.
In August, China reported 501 new mpox infections, with no severe cases or deaths, the Chinese Center For Disease Control and Prevention said on September 8.
First identified in monkeys, the virus is transmitted chiefly through close contact with an infected person.
In May, the World Health Organization declared that mpox was no longer a global public health emergency.
