Brussels (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): In contrast to Covid-19 mpox can be controlled according to the WHO Regional Director for Europe.  He asserts that Africa needs global collaboration if it is to successfully handle the epidemic while preventing any additional worldwide spread.

In several African countries the ongoing MpoX epidemic appears to be staying stable. A confirmed case in Sweden that was traced to travel in East-Central Africa shows clearly  that a health problem in one place can also affect other regions as well. The fact that the Mpox infestation is not something like Covid-19 was also said by Hans Kluge in a press conference on Tuesday as he contrasted strains circulating Central and East Africa.

What are the risks and symptoms of Mpox infection? 

 Mpox and  mpox normal and how to live healthy even at old age but Hans also mentioned that while we still don’t know much about mpox however it looks like we already know enough about this viral infection named mpox and ways of tackling virus causing this disease effectively. The mpox is not very serious but causes skin rashes and flu-like symptoms which disappear within a few weeks time frame. This disease spreads mostly through close proximity such as skin-to-skin or sexual contact with an infected individual.
In this case preventive medication focusing mainly towards females would be essential because if males get infected then entire family would also be affected since they share same shelter or bedroom or any point where they sleep over night together especially parents. If the mothers are infected with mpox virus in such cases, our number one priority is to save the baby. The reason for this is that children receive a lot of antibodies from their mothers while still in the womb thus making them immune to various diseases that can cause any form of harm to young ones.

People who are always moving around in places where the disease mpox is rampant are at the top of the list of those who are most likely to become infected with it. Anyone who gets into close contact with a victim of this illness such as sharing a bed stands above all others in risk.
