Do not worry about monkey flu – WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned people not to worry about monkey-pox, which is currently spreading in 16 countries.

“Monkey flu” is a viral disease endemic to Central and West Africa. It is currently spreading rapidly in the West, Australia and Israel.

British health officials say the ‘monkey flu’ is spreading in British society. Belgium has even introduced new health laws to quarantine those infected with ‘monkey flu’ for 21 days.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says more than 100 cases of monkey flu have been reported worldwide so far. However, no deaths were reported.

“The monkey flu virus, which is restricted to the African region, is spreading in the West. This is indeed an unusual expansion. We have never seen anything like this before in history. Monkey flu is a virus that can be transmitted between smallpox and chickenpox. It is not as deadly as the covid 19 virus.

It has the potential to control the spread of monkey flu outside Africa. There is no need to be unnecessarily scared, ”said Maria von Kerkow, the World Health Organization’s new head of the new virus, at a news conference in Geneva.

Symptoms of ‘monkey flu’ include fever, headache, muscle aches and fatigue. Blisters appear as in chicken pox on the face and limbs. The spread of the virus occurs through close contact with an infected person.

Homosexuals are prevalent in the West, and foreign media reports indicate that most of the patients are gay men. Doctors say antimicrobial drugs for the chickenpox (smospex) virus, as well as immunizations made to protect against chickenpox, can control ‘monkey pox’.
