🙈 በተቃራኒው ግን የዩ.ኤ.ስ አሜሪካ የበሽታ መቆጣጠሪያ እና መከላከያ ማዕከል፤ “አስቸኳይ የጤና ድንገተኛ አደጋ ተፈጥሯል፣ የጦጣ ፈንጣጣ ሙሉ በሙሉ በተከተቡ ሰዎች መካከል እየተሰራጨ መሆኑን አረጋግጫለሁ፤” ይላል። ምን ጉድ ነው?
👉 Before CORONAtion COVID & after CORONAtion Mpox – COVIPOX 👈
💭 The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday it was ending a 10-month-long global health emergency for mpox, a viral disease that led to confirmed cases in more than a hundred countries.
The organization declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022 and backed its stand in November and February.
The WHO’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared the end of the emergency status for the disease based on the recommendation of the organization’s emergency committee, which met on Wednesday.
The move signals that the crisis due to mpox, which spreads through direct contact with body fluids and causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled skin lesions, has come under control.
Nicola Low, vice chair of WHO’s emergency committee on mpox, said there was a need to move to a strategy for managing the long-term public health risks of mpox than to rely on emergency measures.
The transition would mean including mpox response and preparedness under national disease surveillance programs such as those for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, Low said.
Almost 90% fewer mpox cases were reported in the past three months, compared with cases in the same duration before that, the WHO chief said.
More than 87,000 mpox cases have been confirmed globally from the beginning of 2022 through May 8 this year, according to the WHO’s latest report.
WHO said it was particularly concerned about African countries which have been dealing with mpox long before the global outbreak began, and could continue to deal with it for some time to come.
The WHO recently also declared an end of public health emergency status for COVID-19.
“While the emergencies of mpox and COVID-19 are both over, the threat of resurgent waves remains for both. Both viruses continue to circulate and both continue to kill,” Tedros said.
🙈 But, the CDC issues an urgent health emergency, confirm that MONKEY POX is spreading amongst the FULLY VACCINATED! What’s going on?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday it was working with multiple health departments to investigate new mpox cases around the country, less than a month after officials had hailed the weekly pace of new infections slowing to zero nationwide.
News of the CDC’s investigations come a day after Chicago health officials warned they had tracked a resurgence of infections from mpox, formerly called monkeypox, among fully vaccinated residents.
“Most weeks we didn’t see a single mpox case, maybe one or two in a higher week. But just these last couple of weeks we saw two, then five, now another six coming in,” Dr. Allison Arwady, commissioner of Chicago’s health department, said Tuesday.
Of 13 newly confirmed cases in the cit were among men who had been fully vaccinated, local officials said in an alert distributed to healthcare providers.
The CDC says it still recommends at-risk Americans get two doses of the Jynneos vaccine to guard against the virus, but urged doctors to test all patients with symptoms regardless of their vaccination status.
