WHO issued the highest level of public health alert

The World Health Organization Director -General Tan Desai announced on the 23rd that monkey acne epidemic in 75 countries and regions has constituted a "international concern public health incident". Sanitary alarm.

Earlier, Tan Desai's second time the WHO Emergency Committee met to discuss the multi -country monkey acne epidemic. However, at a press conference on the 23rd, Tan Desai still decided to announce the increase in the alert of the monkey acne epidemic to this highest level.

Tan Desai said that according to the "International Health Regulations", five factors need to be considered when deciding whether the epidemic constitutes a "international concern public health incident":

First of all, the information provided by various countries shows that the acne virus has quickly spread to many countries that have never occurred before; second, the three criteria of the "International Health Regulations" announced by the "International Health Regulations", monkeys The acne epidemic has been satisfied; third, although the emergency committee has not reached a consensus, it is determined to provide support for the decision of the general office; fourth, the scientific principles, evidence, and other related information of monkey acne are not sufficient, and many unknown still exist in many unknown. Fifth, monkeys causing risks to human health, may form international communication, and have potential interference with international transportation.

At the same time, Tan Desai added that although he announced that the monkey acne epidemic has constituted a "international concern public health incident", "as far as the current is concerned, this is a concentrated in male actor, especially with multiple personal partners The outbreak of the male outbreak ". Therefore, the epidemic can be prevented by adopting the correct strategy in the correct group.

The WHO Emergency Committee held a meeting on the epidemic of the monkey acne for the first time in June, and then suggested to Tan Dezai that the epidemic was not set as "international concern public health incidents." According to the WHO data, 75 countries and regions have reported to the organization more than 16,000 cases, of which 5 of them have died. The current evaluation of the WHO's epidemic is that it is a high risk in European regions alone, and the risks in the world and other regions are medium.

Monkey acne is a kind of viral human and animal disease, which is caused by monkey acne virus infection. In the past few weeks, many European and American countries have reported multiple cases of pox virus clusters, most of which are male actors. WHO said that the cases of monkey acne often occur in Western Africa and China Africa, while the diagnosis and suspected cases reported by many countries have no history of travel in the popular region of monkey acne. This situation is not normal.

my country's current focus is still an external defense input

Of course, announced that PHEIC does not mean that monkey acne will cause widespread global popularity like a new crown. The current evaluation of WHO is that monkey acne epidemic is only high risk in Europe, and risks in the world and other regions are still medium. Moreover, under the attention of health institutions and the public in various countries, the epidemic was lifted soon after this epidemic was suppressed.

As of now, there have been no reports of monkey acne in mainland China, nor have it reported that monkey acne virus has been discovered in animal hosts. Of course, with the restoration of global travel and trade, and successive monkey acne cases in Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and other places in my country, it does not rule out the possibility of discovering input cases. Therefore, our current focus is still an external defense input.

In fact, as early as May 30, the General Administration of Customs in my country issued a notice requesting that the nation's customs port health quarantine will continue to do a good job of "multi -illness and prevention" to prevent the epidemic from superimposed. It will strictly implement various health quarantine measures such as health reporting; strengthen the introduction of entry carrying, delivery quarantine and rodent quarantine, strengthen multi -sector joint prevention and joint control, and strictly prevent the risk of input in the epidemic. At the same time, my country has established a variety of genetic testing technologies that can be used for early diagnosis of monkey acne, which can quickly achieve screening of monkey acne virus and combine the new generation of sequencing methods. Tracing.

Subsequently, the National Health and Health Commission also officially issued the "Monkey Acne Prevention and Control Technology Guide (2022 Edition)", which clearly requested early discovery, early reports, early diagnosis, early investigation, and early disposal. At the same time, specific requirements have also been put on.

For the public, there is no need to worry too much about the epidemic of monkey acne at this stage. Ordinary people reduce gathering, wearing masks, and washing their hands frequently to avoid contact with wild animals. Do not eat raw meat, which can effectively reduce the risk of infection.

Even if the WHO announces the epidemic of the monkey acne as PHEIC, as long as the countries are planning to take precautionary measures, and individuals pay attention to prevention in life, this emergencies are also expected to effectively control and block.
