The Australian Ministry of Health is highly vigilant
A deadly disease is coming!
This virus has emerged in the UK,
There could be a global outbreak...
#01：
The Australian government issued a warning
Fatal disease or influx
The epidemic is still breaking out, Australia is still facing the ravages of influenza virus, the situation is already very serious, and more dangerously, a potentially fatal disease may be introduced to Australia!
The disease is called Monkeypox, which translates to Chinese monkeypox. It's a rare disease that originated in Africa, and one in ten people dies after contracting the virus!
Now it has appeared and circulated in the UK, and may even spread to Australia!
Monkeypox is not only a virus that is highly lethal, it can also cause extreme suffering to infected people. Infected people will win blisters and rashes, and even if they recover, they may leave scars.
The virus can be transmitted through body fluids or droplets in face-to-face contact, and is highly contagious in close proximity, but the scope of transmission is limited.
The current outbreak of monkeypox virus in the UK is limited to gay or bisexual men
Not only in the UK, but also in Canada, monkeypox infections have been broken out: the number of infections has reached 13!
There are also confirmed monkeypox infections in Spain, Portugal and the United States!
It can be seen that it has spread in many countries in the world, and it is not impossible to enter Australia.
Because its symptoms may be similar to that of chickenpox, measles, syphilis and even herpes zoster, the Ministry of Health has issued an urgent warning to all medical personnel that once similar symptoms are found, they must not be neglected and need to be carefully examined.
Avoid monkeypox coming to Australia but not being spotted!
With the current level of openness of Australia's borders, it is likely that tourists from the United Kingdom will carry the virus into Australia, which is the government's biggest concern.

Deadly virus monkeypox
Community communication has begun
Although monkeypox needs close contact to spread, it has begun to spread in communities in the UK.
According to virus tracking, the virus was first brought back by a returning traveler who was infected while traveling to Nigeria.
After returning to China, he did not have symptoms at first, and when he had symptoms, the doctor confirmed the nature of the virus he was infected with.
Seven people in the UK have been diagnosed. Especially the two most recent cases, who knew each other but did not find contact with previous cases.
To prevent the virus from spreading further, sexual health clinics in London have now introduced strict social distancing rules into the waiting rules.
Monkeypox is also important to note that it is an incurable disease, with a mortality rate of 10% after infection, and 90% of infected people will heal naturally after several weeks of torture.
And there is currently no vaccine against the disease.
The World Health Organization has also warned that monkeypox is far more contagious than the new coronavirus in close contact!
At present, there are no confirmed cases of monkeypox in Australia, but the government hopes that everyone will not let down their vigilance, with the current relaxed border policy, the possibility of British carriers entering the country, or passengers from Nigeria entering the country to carry the virus into Australia, still exists.
Also because there are no related cases, Australia has not yet begun to develop preventive measures for this disease, but stressed the hope that all medical staff will be vigilant to avoid misdiagnosis.
At last
Wave after wave, the epidemic and the flu have made Australia a little overwhelmed, especially the flu, the number of infections is surging.
Now there is another threat of monkeypox, although it has not yet entered Australia.
This winter in Australia, the days are not good ah...
