Today's data selection: 106 new confirmed cases of monkeypox were reported in mainland China in June; Doctor's Reminder on the Risk of Poor Health Preservation from Sunbathing on the Back during the Three Fu Days | Case | Data
Do we need to be vigilant about 106 newly confirmed cases of monkeypox reported in mainland China in June?
Lu Hongzhou, president of the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen and director of the National Clinical Research Center for infectious diseases, told InterfaceNews that monkeypox virus enters the human body from damaged skin and mucous membrane, so the transmission between people is mainly through intimate contact.
The reported cases are mainly transmitted through sexual behavior, especially by men who have sex with men. However, other modes of transmission, such as respiratory droplet transmission, mother-to-child vertical transmission, and indirect contact transmission of pollutants, cannot be ruled out.
Lu Hongzhou believes that according to the current situation, there is a possibility of further increase in local cases in a short period of time, but even if the scale of cases expands, it will reach the peak in a short period of time and gradually decline, and the risk of a large-scale epidemic in the future is very low.
Lu Hongzhou believes that there is no need to disclose patient information. He said that monkeypox is mainly transmitted through close contact, and the risk of infection for the general public is relatively low. Publishing information on the patient's activity trajectory, area, and other factors has relatively little benefit for the prevention and control of monkeypox. "Moreover, the main mode of transmission of monkeypox involves personal privacy, so it is not appropriate and unnecessary to disclose patients' information."
Wei Sheng, professor of epidemiology at the School of Public Health and Emergency Management of South University of Science and Technology, also believes that monkeypox virus is mainly transmitted through close contact between people, and its infectivity is not as strong as COVID-19. He emphasized that the monkeypox virus cannot be classified as a sexually transmitted disease to avoid stigmatization.
