It is reported that the WHO announced on Saturday that the monkey acne epidemic was "PHEIC" (PHEIC).

The WHO said that so far, 98%of cases have occurred in male and male actors outside African countries.

The Director -General of the WHO Tan Dezai urged the group to consider reducing the number of sexual partners and exchanged contact information with all new sexual partners. He said in a press conference in Geneva: "This is a epidemic that can be stopped ... The best way is to reduce the risk of contact. This means a safe choice for himself and others."

It is reported that Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's emergency sanitation planning, said that it is promoting procedures for renamed monkey acne virus to avoid its name "weapon" or racist.

The WHO also recommends vaccination for high -risk people, including medical staff and men who have sex with men with multiple personality partners. It also warned that it would take several weeks to be fully protected after the second dose of vaccination, so people should take other preventive measures before that.

In this epidemic, about 10%of patients were sent to the hospital for treatment, and 5 deaths were already in Africa.

It is reported that monkey acne infections usually cause mild to moderate symptoms, including fever, fatigue and skin pain, which will fade back within a few weeks.

It is reported that Tan Desai said that about 16 million doses are available for vaccines, but they are all packaged and it takes several months to load them into small bottles. He added that WHO is urging countries to have vaccine stocks to share vaccines, and it is expected that all high -risk groups will need 5 million to 10 million doses of vaccines.
