WHO declares Monkeypox a Global Public Health Emergency: The corona virus epidemic cannot be forgotten. The Covid 19 epidemic has wreaked havoc across the world. Now another new disease has knocked on the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a global public health emergency.
WHO declared high alert
The name of this disease is monkeypox. Many people in the world are falling prey to this disease. This disease is spreading rapidly especially in the African country Congo and its surrounding areas. WHO has declared high alert regarding this. This disease can prove to be more serious and fatal by 2022.
America warned
An old form of monkeypox has already been found in many countries around the world. But the new variant has not been found anywhere except Congo. Cases of the new variant have not been seen in the US and UK either. The US CDC has issued a warning to doctors that they need to be careful of diseases like skin rashes and wounds.
Canadian Prime Minister warned the country
Monkeypox disease is often transferred from one person to another during sexual or homosexual relations. In such a situation, monkeypox is often compared to a disease like AIDS. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has also alerted the countrymen. He warned everyone that a new virus is coming, which can be more dangerous than Covid-19. Therefore, everyone needs to be careful about it.
What did WHO say?
According to WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom, everyone needs to work together at the international level to prevent the outbreak of monkeypox. A large population in the African country Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is suffering from this disease. People there often migrate from one country to another. This poses a risk of spreading the disease. Therefore, everyone should be cautious.
The disease has spread to 13 countries
Cases of monkeypox have been reported in 13 countries. Cases of monkeypox have also been reported in Congo's neighboring countries Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. In 2022, this disease was also found in countries like America and Britain. 58 Americans and thousands of British citizens have fallen victim to monkeypox.
