According to “Russia Today” (RT), Sylvie Briand, Director of the World Health Organization’s Global Infectious Disease Preparedness, at a press conference on the 27th local time The number of hundreds of confirmed monkeypox cases in Europe, North and South America, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Australia over the past month may be “the tip of the iceberg”, the warning said. But he also said that monkeypox is not a disease the public needs to worry about.
RT: WHO (official) says monkeypox cases are “just the tip of the iceberg”
Briander reported It is believed that there may be “more undetected cases in the community” because monkeypox patients do not have clear symptoms right away. Infected people initially experience flu-like symptoms, such as fever and muscle pain, before developing a chickenpox-like rash on the face and body. While there is no known cure, it usually resolves within two to four weeks.
While Briand said, “We know there will be more cases in the coming days,” he doesn’t think people need to panic because “this is not a disease that the general public should be worried about,” the report said. It’s not Covid-19 or any of those other fast-spreading diseases.”
RT also said that while WHO is still trying to determine the exact source of the recent monkeypox outbreak, there is currently no indication that it caused the monkeypox. The outbreak virus has mutated or become more dangerous. According to the World Health Organization, more than 200 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in 20 countries around the world, most of them in the UK. Last week, Belgium became the only country to announce a mandatory 21-day quarantine for those infected with monkeypox.
