A World Health Organization senior official said on Friday that the Monkeypox outbreak can be contained if rapid action is taken.
Dr. Sylvie Briand, WHO‘s director for Global Infectious Hazard Preparedness, said on Friday at the UN health agency’s annual assembly that if we put the right measures in place now, we can contain it easily,” reports Reuters.
The official presented the UN body’s assessment during a technical briefing to member states at the UN health agency’s annual assembly.
The WHO said earlier this week that the Monkeypox outbreak doesn’t require urgent mass vaccination, since its transmission is slower compared to other viruses.
The WHO also highlighted the importance of taking preventative sanitary measures such as good hygiene and safe sexual behavior.
At present, several countries started vaccinating people against the monkeypox virus, as cases confirmed so far are over 200 internationally.
