The WHO sends an extremely serious warning to the whole world in order to bring to the attention of all people a very worrying danger that everyone should know about, and in connection with which they should protect themselves, and this is because monkey pox continues spread mainly in Europe, where there is the largest number of cases.
The WHO tells us, through the voice of its director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, that much more serious actions are needed on the part of world governments to strictly monitor the spread of monkeypox in their territories, especially when it comes to epidemiological investigations regarding the contacts of infected people .
The WHO is also calling for much better communication campaigns to teach people how to protect themselves as effectively as possible against monkeypox infection, because avoiding risky exposure is an extremely effective measure in the absence of widely available vaccines. to protect people from possible infection.
The WHO has been making sustained efforts for a very long time to try to convince the international communities about the very serious danger that monkeypox represents, but of course it is also necessary for people to understand the danger, and to want to protect themselves, because whatever kind of messages and measures to really have the effects desired by the experts.
The focus for all countries must be to stop #monkeypox with effective public health tools, including disease surveillance, contact tracing, tailored risk communication and community engagement, and risk reduction measures. My commentary in @BMJ_latest: https://t.co/M0ES5AswDJ
