Is it among hunters, health workers, or laboratory workers? Who are those driving the transmission within communities?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout these data, it would be difficult for the country to respond appropriately to the outbreak of this viral infection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Akase said that COVID-19 had shown that infection anywhere puts the whole world at risk.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that countries in Europe and North America had also reported cases of monkeypox outbreaks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the reported cases did not have linkage to Africa or animals, but now through person to person exposure, including sexual intercourse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly, we should be concerned, not afraid; and know that we have to put structures in place to counter this outbreak,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He averred that the effect of the monkeypox outbreak extends beyond hospitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>Akase said that the impact would drain resources, put additional strain on health systems, travels and tourism, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The physician assured that monkeypox is not as fatal as COVID-19 and other viral infections.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, urged that measures should be taken to prevent infection from the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Akase said the measures include: Avoiding contact with animals that could harbour the virus, as well as any material that had been in contact with a sick animal.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasised the importance of maintaining good hand hygiene practice to prevent infections.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), from September 2017 to April 30, 2022, some 558 suspected cases of monkeypox were reported from 32 states in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Out of these, 241 were confirmed cases, and eight deaths were recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Also, 46 suspected cases were reported in 2022, of which 15 were confirmed from seven states, and no fatality had been recorded.<\/p>\n<p>According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), monkeypox is most common in remote parts of Central and West Africa and occasionally exported to other regions.<\/p>\n<p>Outside Africa, 20 countries have declared 237 confirmed and suspected cases of monkeypox and health authorities around the world have announced plans to contain the virus.<\/p>\n<p>WHO said vaccines used during the smallpox eradication programme provide protection against monkeypox, and one newly-developed vaccine had been approved for prevention of monkeypox.<\/p>\n<p>It said that the virus could be contained with the right response in countries outside of Africa where it is not usually detected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An infectious diseases Expert, Dr Iorhen Akase, says there is the need for active surveillance and search for suspected cases of monkeypox in communities to reduce the spread of the disease.
