The monkeypox virus is spreading in waves. According to the last minute information, the monkeypox virus, which was detected in 11 countries, especially in the UK and the USA, was also detected in Canada and Israel.
In the statement made by the Canadian Public Health Agency, it was reported that monkeypox virus was detected in two people in the province of Quebec, and 20 suspected cases were being studied. In the statement, it was noted that an unnamed US citizen recently traveled to Canada, and that two people may have been infected with the virus during his visit in Montreal, Quebec province.
NOT EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS
Meanwhile, Quebec State Public Health Chief Dr. Mylene Drouin stated that the disease is not extremely contagious, the virus is transmitted through respiratory droplets, and said that all suspected cases in the Montreal area were among men who had sex with other men.
The monkeypox virus, which has been detected in 11 countries in the world so far, is divided into two as Congo and West African types. Of these species, the Congo virus is known to be the virus with the highest risk of death.
THE FIRST MONKLE POLO VIRUS IN ISRAEL
The monkeypox virus, which continues to spread around the world, also spread to Israel. In a statement made by a hospital in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, it was stated that a man in his 30s who had recently traveled to Europe came to the emergency room with symptoms of monkeypox virus. While it was announced that the patient was quarantined, it was stated that his condition was good.
The World Health Organization had previously stated that the symptoms of the disease were “very similar to those seen in the past in smallpox patients, although clinically less severe.”
