The World Health Network (WHN) announced an outbreak of smallpox of monkeys with pandemia, the organization’s website says.
According to the organization, today in 58 countries 3,417 confirmed cases of monkeys are registered. The flash quickly expands on several continents. The organization called on countries and global health authorities for immediate and effective actions. “The outbreak will not stop without consistent global actions. Even with a much lower level of mortality than the smallpox, if measures are not taken to stop the ongoing distribution, millions of people will die, and many others will become blind and disabled,” the organization said.
It is noted that if you take measures in advance, it will be possible to control the outbreak with the least efforts and prevent worsening consequences. The organization recommends starting to inform the public about symptoms, expand the availability of testing and track contacts of confirmed cases. The healthcare network noted that any spread of the disease among children will lead to much more severe cases and more deaths. Also, the situation will be difficult to infect animals, especially rats and other rodents, as well as pets.
