The cases of monkeypox following the Covid-19 cases are intimidating. Society is always waiting for a new explanation. The World Health Organization announced that a patient with monkeypox living in France transmitted the disease to his pet dog. This is the first time a pet has been infected with monkeypox. The couple living in France said that when they saw that their Italian greyhound dog began to develop wounds on their body, they suspected the situation and went to the doctor.
INFECTED PEOPLE SHOULD Isolate Themselves
In England, where the cases of monkeypox are high, it has been announced that according to the health directive published by the government, those who have the disease should cut off contact with pets. Monkeypox was previously only seen in wild animals in the countries where the epidemic occurred, and it was evaluated that animals in Europe and the USA were transmitted from animals brought from abroad. After the virus was detected in a pet for the first time, authorities drew attention to the importance of self-isolation of infected people.
