Hans Kluge said at a press conference that doença can be controlled without looking at Europe without imprisonment
Smallpox, formerly known as variola dos macacos, does not pose the same public health threat as Covid-19 and will not lead to “panic cycle” Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, said the restrictions on public health.
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency of international concern, the same name COVID-19 was given at the start of 2020. A milder strain of the virus — called Clade 2 — has spread around the world in 2022. The more contagious strain — Clade 1b — has killed hundreds of people in central Africa and was discovered last week. Sweden.
At a UN press conference on the third day, Kluge said that by providing sufficient vaccines to affected countries in Africa and encouraging close monitoring of smallpox patients, the spread of the disease could be controlled.
“Will we enter a lockdown phase in the WHO European region, and what about Covid-19? The answer is clear: no. Kluge stated.
“Two years ago, we were able to control smallpox in Europe thanks to direct engagement with the communities most affected by men who have sex with men.” Continue. “Will we choose to implement systems to control and eradicate smallpox globally or will we enter another cycle of panic and neglect?”
The majority of Clade 2 cases occur in gay and bisexual men, especially those with multiple sexual partners. Clade 1b is thought to spread more easily through close, non-sexual contact.
Smallpox is similar to human smallpox, which was eradicated in 1980 and is endemic in parts of West and Central Africa. Its initial symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, chest pain, swollen lymph nodes, chills, and fatigue, and infected people develop various skin lesions.
