Monkey pox in Israel and Lebanon

New instances of monkeypox have been reported in different parts of the world, although the Middle East appears to be free of the disease for now.

What precisely is monkeypox? The disease monkeypox is caused by the same-named virus. It's usually found in tropical areas of Central and West Africa, but it's also been reported in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and other countries recently. When individuals come into intimate contact with ill people or animals, or when they come into contact with contaminated substances, they can become infected. Fever, rash, and swelling are some of the symptoms. The disease has a 3-6 percent death rate, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). On the other hand, certain countries with a history of monkeypox lack proper health care.

According to the World Health Organization, smallpox immunizations protect against monkeypox, and the disease has excellent treatments.

In May, cases of monkeypox were reported all across the world, including in Europe, the United States, and Australia.

What part of the Middle East does it belong to? A case of monkeypox was recorded in Tel Aviv in a man who had recently returned from Europe. Yesterday, health authorities ruled out a second outbreak of the illness.

According to certain Lebanese news agencies, a doctor has certified that the country has at least two cases of monkeypox. The Ministry of Health responded by announcing later today that no confirmed cases had been registered in response to the claims.

Turkey, Eqypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Kuwait, among others, have lately stated that their nations are free of monkeypox cases.

Some governments in the region have made plans to deal with epidemics. A detecting mechanism has been developed by authorities in the United Arab Emirates. Jordan's infectious disease service delivered a monkeypox briefing yesterday.

Authorities in Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, and Oman have been unable to contain the monkeypox outbreak.
