Monkeypox prevention and control plan

Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus infection. In September 2022, China reported its first imported case of monkeypox. Since June 2023, multiple provinces in China have reported multiple cases of monkeypox, posing a high risk of new local outbreaks and hidden transmission. To guide various regions to scientifically and accurately carry out monkeypox prevention and control work, and effectively maintain the physical health of the people, this plan is formulated.


General 1. requirements



Adhere to the principle of "prevention first, combination of prevention and control, precise prevention and control, and rapid disposal", and implement the measures of "early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment. Carry out multi-channel monitoring of medical institutions, key groups, inbound personnel and key places. Strengthen epidemic analysis and risk analysis, and carry out targeted health education and comprehensive intervention for key populations. Implement measures such as case isolation treatment, epidemiological investigation and close contact tracing management. Insist on finding one, controlling one, and blocking the spread of the epidemic in time.


2. disease characteristics



Pathogenic characteristics.

Monkeypox virus belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus in the family Poxvirus, and is a double stranded DNA virus with a genome length of approximately 197kb. The virus was first discovered in monkeys in 1958. In 1970, monkeypox virus was first isolated from a suspected smallpox patient's specimen in the Democratic Republic of Congo, marking the first confirmed case of human monkeypox.

The monkeypox virus is divided into two evolutionary branches: Branch I, formerly known as the Central African branch or the Congo Basin branch; Branch II, formerly known as the West African branch, is further divided into IIa and IIb branches. The strain that caused the outbreak of monkeypox in non endemic areas worldwide in 2022 is the IIb branch. At present, there are many sub branches in the IIb branch, including sub branches A.1, A.2, and B.1. Since the first imported case of monkeypox was reported in China in September 2022, the strain sequences submitted to the Institute of Virology of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in various regions belong to the IIb branch.

The monkeypox virus is resistant to dryness and low temperatures and can survive for several months on surfaces such as scabs, soil, clothing, and bedding. The virus is heat sensitive and can be inactivated by heating to 56 ℃ for 30 minutes or 60 ℃ for 10 minutes. Commonly used disinfectants such as 75% ethanol, chlorine containing disinfectants, peroxyacetic acid, and ultraviolet radiation can effectively inactivate viruses, and are sensitive to hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, glutaraldehyde, and ortho benzaldehyde.

Epidemiological characteristics.

1. Sources of infection. The host of monkeypox virus is not yet clear, and it is currently believed that African rodents may be its natural host. The sources of infection include monkeypox cases and infected rodents, monkeys, and primates.

2. Transmission routes. The monkeypox virus mainly invades the human body through mucous membranes and damaged skin, and is mainly transmitted through direct contact with the diseased skin or mucous membranes of the case. It can also be transmitted through contact with items contaminated by the virus, long-term close inhalation of respiratory droplets from the case, contact with respiratory secretions, diseased exudates, blood and other body fluids of infected animals, or infection through bites or scratches from infected animals.

3. Vulnerable population. The crowd is generally susceptible. Having received smallpox vaccine has a certain degree of cross protection against monkeypox virus.

4. Epidemic characteristics. The monkeypox epidemic before 2021 was mainly localized in Central and West Africa, mainly transmitted through contact with infected animals. The human to human transmission chain caused by the epidemic was relatively short, mainly sporadic cases and clustered outbreaks in children and young adults, occasionally spreading to other countries and regions through family or travel. Since May 2022, outbreaks of COVID-19 in multiple countries around the world have mainly spread through sexual contact among men who have sex with men. The majority of cases are young and middle-aged men, and have spread through large-scale gatherings and subsequent MSM in communities, spreading to multiple countries and regions around the world.

Clinical features.

1. Incubation period: 5-21 days, mostly 6-13 days.

2. Infectious period: The case becomes infectious from the onset of symptoms until the rash scabs naturally fall off and form new skin. There are investigations suggesting that some cases may be contagious 1-4 days before symptoms appear.

3. Early symptoms: Fever, headache, back pain, muscle pain, and lymph node enlargement may occur.

4. Rashes and mucosal rashes: usually appear after fever subsides, and in some cases may appear before systemic symptoms. The occurrence of rash often goes through several stages, including rash, papules, blisters, pustules, scabbing, and scab shedding. Different forms of rash can coexist and may be accompanied by obvious itching and pain. It can affect the oral and pharyngeal mucosa, anus, genitalia, conjunctiva, and cornea. After the scab peels off, it may leave erythema, pigmentation, or even scars, which can last for several years.

5. The course and severity of the disease. The course of monkeypox is about 2-4 weeks, and patients with weakened immunity may have a longer course of disease. Monkeypox is a self limiting disease, and in most cases, symptoms will disappear on their own. Severe cases and deaths may also occur, mainly in children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised populations.

Since 2022, in the global monkeypox outbreaks in many countries, most cases have mild clinical manifestations, some cases have no systemic symptoms, the rash is only limited to the genital, anorectal mucosa, and the death cases are mainly people with low immunity such as untreated AIDS virus infected people. Since 2022, the mortality rate of cases in non endemic areas worldwide has been approximately 0.1%.


3. publicity, education and intervention



Carry out publicity and education for different groups of people, such as key groups, entry-exit personnel and the general population, strengthen the self-prevention awareness and personal protection measures of different groups, and actively cooperate with the prevention and control work.

Key groups. Health and disease control departments around the country, together with relevant social organizations, fully draw on the experience of comprehensive intervention and service model of AIDS prevention and control, and carry out peer education in bars, clubs, baths and other key venues that MSM often visit. With the help of mass media, MSM social networking sites and other Internet platforms, carry out publicity and education on monkeypox prevention and control knowledge, improve the prevention awareness of key groups, reduce high-risk behaviors, guide people with suspicious contact history to consciously conduct self-health monitoring, and enhance the awareness of active medical treatment.

The requirements for key population promotion and intervention are detailed in Annex 1 "Guidelines for Key Population Promotion and Intervention".


The National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention has issued a monkeypox prevention and control plan: Close contacts must undergo 21 days of health monitoring and hygiene | prevention and control | plan

Entry and exit personnel. Strengthen the promotion and education of monkeypox prevention and control knowledge among entry-exit personnel through the distribution of promotional materials and other forms. Remind outbound personnel to pay attention to the epidemic information of monkeypox in the destination country and region, and not to contact individuals with monkeypox like symptoms, rodents, primates, and other animals. Remind individuals from countries and regions reporting monkeypox outbreaks that if they have a suspicious history of contact overseas, they should undergo self health monitoring within 21 days of entry to avoid close contact with others. If they experience symptoms such as fever, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes, they should seek medical attention proactively and truthfully report their epidemiological history.

General population. Various regions will fully leverage the role of new media as well as traditional media such as radio, television, and newspapers, carry out publicity and education on monkeypox prevention and control knowledge, and enhance public awareness of scientific prevention.


4. epidemic surveillance and reporting



Monitoring case definitions.

Individuals with monkeypox like symptoms. Acute rash of unknown cause, accompanied by fever or lymph node enlargement.

2. Suspected cases. Individuals with monkeypox like symptoms have any of the following epidemiological histories within 21 days prior to onset: a history of travel to areas where monkeypox cases have been reported; Have a history of confirmed or suspected contact with monkeypox; Having same-sex sexual activity, or having a history of same-sex sexual activity; There is a history of suspected animal contact in endemic areas.

3. Confirmed cases. Individuals with monkeypox like symptoms, suspected cases, and close contacts who have tested positive for monkeypox virus nucleic acid or virus isolation in the laboratory.

Multi channel monitoring.

1. Medical institution monitoring. Medical institutions at all levels and of all types should carry out monitoring of monkeypox like symptoms, especially dermatology, anorectal department, AIDS voluntary counseling and testing clinics and other clinics should focus on monkeypox like symptoms. Individuals with monkeypox like symptoms should proactively inquire about their epidemiological history, record their current address and contact information, collect specimens, and send them to disease control institutions for monkeypox nucleic acid testing. Medical institutions with the ability to detect monkeypox virus and qualifications for monkeypox virus experimental activities can also carry out testing.

2. Key population monitoring. Medical institutions at all levels and types, as well as disease control institutions, should proactively inquire about the presence of monkeypox like symptoms and suspected contact history when providing diagnosis, treatment, or testing consulting services to key populations such as MSM. If monkeypox like symptoms or suspected cases are found, samples should be collected in a timely manner for monkeypox virus nucleic acid testing.

3. Monitoring of inbound personnel. Upon receiving abnormal health declarations related to monkeypox or discovering monkeypox like symptoms during quarantine, the customs shall promptly collect specimens and conduct nucleic acid testing, and issue a "Convenience Card for Medical Treatment", requiring them to seek medical treatment as soon as possible; For those who test positive for nucleic acid, relevant information shall be reported to the disease control institutions in their jurisdiction, and further investigation and disposal shall be carried out by relevant departments.

4. Monitoring of sewage in key locations. Areas with conditions can conduct sewage monitoring on key activity areas such as bars, clubs, and bathhouses that MSM frequently visit based on the local epidemic situation, after evaluation.

Case report.

Relevant medical institutions timely diagnose patients based on clinical manifestations, epidemiology, and laboratory test results.

Suspected and confirmed cases diagnosed should be directly reported through the monitoring report management module of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System within 24 hours. If it is an imported case, please fill in the country or region of origin of the input. Medical and health institutions that do not meet the conditions for online reporting must report the information on the infectious disease report card to the local township health center, community health service center, or county-level disease control institution for online reporting within the prescribed time limit, and at the same time fax or send the infectious disease report card to the reporting unit. Medical and health institutions responsible for online reporting of cases should promptly review and correct case information based on laboratory test results and epidemiological investigations.

The first confirmed case of monkeypox or two or more confirmed cases with epidemiological associations in each county should be reported through the Public Health Emergency Reporting Management Information System within 2 hours, with the event level selected as "unrated".


Disposal of 5. epidemic situation



Case management.

Suspected and confirmed cases of monkeypox discovered in various regions should be promptly transferred to medical institutions for isolation and treatment. If clinical symptoms significantly improve and the affected area has scabbed, it can be transferred to home isolation treatment until the rash scabs naturally fall off, and home isolation is lifted. For confirmed cases with mild conditions and conditions for home isolation treatment, after joint evaluation by medical institutions and disease control institutions, home isolation treatment can be directly adopted. For confirmed cases undergoing home isolation treatment, a health notice for monkeypox cases undergoing home isolation treatment will be issued. During the period of home isolation and treatment for confirmed cases, individuals should live in a single room and avoid direct contact with their family members' skin or mucous membranes. Disinfect contaminated items and do not go out unless necessary. When going out, it is necessary to wear long clothes, pants, and medical surgical masks, avoid going to crowded places, and avoid direct contact with other people's skin or mucous membranes; Designate medical institutions to assign dedicated personnel to be responsible for on-site or telephone follow-up, providing health consultation and medical guidance.

Epidemiological investigation.

After receiving reports of suspected and confirmed cases in the jurisdiction, county-level disease control institutions shall promptly organize epidemiological investigations, identify the source of infection, grasp, track and manage close contacts, analyze the transmission chain and characteristics, timely identify potential risk groups, their scope and characteristics, and carry out targeted publicity, education, and comprehensive interventions. During the investigation process, leverage the collaborative role of multiple departments in joint prevention and control to obtain comprehensive and accurate flow investigation information as much as possible.

The investigation mainly includes basic information of the case, the incidence and treatment situation, clinical manifestations, outcomes, and laboratory testing; History, location, and mode of contact with suspected sources of infection within 21 days prior to onset of illness; Specific activity locations from onset to isolation treatment, individuals who have direct contact with their skin or mucous membranes, and individuals who have had sexual contact with them within 4 days prior to onset.

The requirements for epidemiological investigation of monkeypox epidemic are detailed in Annex 3 "Guidelines for Epidemiological Investigation of Monkeypox Epidemic".

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
