The World Health Organization announced on August 14 after the emergency committee meeting announced that the spread of monkey acne was listed as an internationally concerned public health incident, which naturally attracted the attention of countries around the world.Monkey acne is a newer virus, so it also causes some Chinese people to worry about vaccination.
The day before yesterday (September 4), the Ministry of Health held a press conference and announced that Singapore's strategy to respond to the Clade I of the Chinese African Monkey Virus (Clade I).Minister of Health Wang Yikang pointed out at the meeting that although monkey acne is a troublesome virus, we can deal with it, so we call on people not to worry too much.He said that people can understand that people will worry and compare the crown disease epidemic.But we cannot use past experience to deal with the current problems. After understanding the characteristics of monkey acne, we take corresponding and appropriate measures.
According to the analysis of the Ministry of Health, as of so far, the number of cases in Africa in Africa is 1.3.The crown disease and other respiratory viruses are much lower.The number of crown diseases is 5 to 8, that is, 50 to 80 people per 10 crown disease can be transmitted; the number of chickenpox and measles infection is higher, which can reach or even more than 10.
Based on this, the Ministry of Health adopts a targeted response strategy, which is currently only two high -risk people vaccinated vaccines, that is, medical staff who are most likely to be in close contact with patients, as well as those who have had patients with patients who have had patients with patients who have had patients with patients.Those who are closely contact.The existing vaccine supply is sufficient to cope with demand.
The information conveyed by the press conference is clear. Although we must do a good job of preventing the spread of monkey acne, we do not have to panic about the transmission of this virus.The official believes that the current situation is controllable. At this stage, the public does not have to rush to vaccinate.The Ministry of Health is paying close attention to the development of the situation. If necessary, more vaccines will be purchased and vaccinated for other groups.Therefore, the public can make up.Of course, it is necessary to focus on personal hygiene and prevent preparation.
According to the Ministry of Health, there are two branches of monkey acne virus, Clade I (Clade I) and Clade II.West Africa has spread around the world in 2022, but since last year, more people have been infected with stronger Chinese -African strains.This strain is currently concentrated in some African countries, including Burundi, Cameroon, China Africa, Congo (Gold), Gabon, Kenya, Congo, Rwanda and Uganda.
According to the Statistics of the World Health Organization, since monitoring monkey acne since 2022, as of July 31, 2024, there were a total of 100,2977 in the world.II) The case of monkey acne, including 121 countries, a total of 219 deaths appeared.However, there are different data reports on death. Some say that since this year, the number of deaths in the Congo alone has exceeded 500.The first batch of vaccines donated by the European Union countries just arrived in the country yesterday. Due to the difficulty of logistics, I am afraid that it will not be vaccinated by the people next month.This means that the entire infection is still uncertain.It is necessary for the WHO and developed countries to increase their assistance to these poor countries.
As for the local situation, the case of monkey acne suddenly increased in the last four months last year.According to the website of the Ministry of Health, there were 32 confirmed cases of acne in the whole year, of which 25 were diagnosed between September and December last year.There have been 14 cases of Monkey acne in West African strains so far this year. Most of the patients have been used as young people, and they have not found a more infectious China -Africa virus.What people can be more assured is that those who have vaccinated the ceiling vaccine also have certain immunity for monkey acne.
Since Singapore is the world's transportation hub, tens of thousands of passengers from all over the world are going out of the country every day. If the epidemic of the monkey acne continues to spread around the world, the introduction of variant viruses in China and Africa may be only a matter of time.Therefore, we must do a good job of preparation. This so -called preparation and unpreparedness.
