The World Health Organization (WHO) released a report on monkeypox, which states that countries outside of Africa have the ability to control the spread of the disease. The WHO is urging all countries to take action to prevent monkeypox from spreading.
What is monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a highly contagious virus that can be spread through coughing and sneezing.
Monkeypox is most common in Africa, but it has also been found in other parts of the world.
There is no specific treatment for monkeypox, but it can be treated with antibiotics.
The WHO says that countries outside of Africa have the ability to control the spread of monkeypox.
How does the WHO figure this out?
Monkeypox is a highly contagious virus that can be spread through contact with respiratory secretions, such as saliva or mucus, from an infected person.
The WHO says that countries outside of Africa have the ability to control the spread of monkeypox.
The WHO bases this statement on a study published in The Lancet in February 2017 that looked at data on potential outbreaks of monkeypox in African countries and found that all but one of the potential outbreaks occurred in countries outside of Africa.
The one possible outbreak that occurred in Africa was contained and did not result in any deaths.
The study authors say that it is possible that the success rates for controlling monkeypox outbreaks could be improved if more information about the disease was available in African languages. They note that most outbreaks occur when individuals are traveling to countries where monkeypox is endemic, and this suggests that there could be opportunities to prevent many outbreaks if more information about the disease is available in local languages.
What are the countries outside of Africa that have the ability to control the spread of monkeypox?
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified six countries outside of Africa as having the ability to control the spread of monkeypox: The United States, Russia, China, Japan, France and Germany. These countries have developed appropriate vaccines and treatment plans in case of a monkeypox outbreak.
What do we need to do to protect ourselves from monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a highly infectious viral disease that primarily affects primates, including humans. It is believed to be spread through contact with respiratory secretions, blood, or other body fluids from an infected animal. The WHO says that countries outside of Africa have the ability to control the spread of monkeypox. Here are some tips to protect yourself from this virus:
-Stay informed about monkeypox and its symptoms. Make sure you know what they are and how to identify them.
-Avoid close contact with monkeys and other primates if possible. If you have to contact them, use gloves and a face mask.
-Get vaccinated against monkeypox if you are traveling to areas where the virus is prevalent.
Conclusion
Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a report detailing the successes that countries outside of Africa have had in controlling the spread of monkeypox. The WHO found that while there have been setbacks, such as an outbreak in Guinea last year, overall control has been achieved by these countries through various means. These interventions include vaccination campaigns, isolation and treatment of cases, tracing contacts of cases and recommending travel restrictions for infected individuals. By learning about this successful effort and applying it to our own backyard, we can help keep our communities safe from monkeypox outbreaks.
