A circular will be sent to all doctors by Tuesday with the guidelines to follow if they come across any cases of monkeypox virus.

The press spokesperson of the health ministry Konstantinos Athanasiou said that the health services are engaged in the preparation of a plan that the country will apply if cases are detected in Cyprus and there will be a meeting on Tuesday.

He noted, at the same time, that the guidelines from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the World Health Organisation are also expected.

Cyprus may soon be faced with the new virus epidemiologist Michalis Voniatis said. Twenty people in the UK have been identified as having the virus and cases have also been detected in countries such as the US, Israel, Germany, Italy and Denmark.

Monkeypox is a virus that can cause symptoms including fever, aches and presents with a distinctive bumpy rash.

It is related to smallpox, but is usually milder, particularly the West African strain of the virus.

Most people fully recover in two to four weeks.

At this stage, the virus does not cause severe disease and is spread through close contact. Largely found in West and Central Africa, it does not usually spread easily between people.

Even so, professor of infectious diseases Dr Maria Koliou said the population needs to observe the rules of cleanliness. If they see suspicious lesions on someone’s body they should not approach or touch, also if there are any suspicious symptoms they should talk to their doctor, so that an investigation can be carried out.

The smallpox vaccine offers 80 per cent protection against monkeypox, and needs to be given to the special population groups that are at high risk. The virus is destroyed at 60 degrees when the clothes are washed, Koliou said. Bleach also destroys it, the doctor said.

The UK has begun to inoculate healthcare workers who may be at risk while caring for patients with the smallpox vaccine. The US government says it has enough smallpox vaccine stored in its Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) to vaccinate the entire US population. Smallpox was eradicated in 1980.

There are antiviral drugs for smallpox that could also be used to treat monkeypox under certain circumstances, a spokesperson for the US Department of Health and Human Services said last week.

This is all so strange!

And for those who have weakened immune systems including the previously jebbed the catching of viruses whether or not potent will be much more frequent.

Monkeypox is Smallpox related! It is a mild illness lasting 2-3 weeks ....mostly for now being passed on in the homosexual community ....it is for now ...not a life threatening virus

Vaccinations in the past have wiped out many terrible global health issues and made our world a much safer place

No matter wether vaccinated or not ...everyone should be building up their immune systems ....as time passes since the release of Covid from a lab in China ...we have all learned the importance of a strong immune system as a body defense

As some of our scientist.... man tampered with GM ...food sources .....factory pre prepared meals full of chemicals, sugar and rubbish ingredients and no vitamin and minerals left in them...fast food outlets.....feed many globally until as humans we are full....but absolutely no longer give us the adequate vitamins and minerals that we all need as humans daily to survive and fight off new strains of illnesses and viruses

My question is .....on top of years of terrible diets being eaten globally by many ....
Is lab Bio warfare also being used in these much stronger strains of viruses?

Drs ...my own cardiologist included are beginning to report illnesses in people who have had covid and seemingly have recovered months earlier now becoming sick....Measles is on the rise globally and Greece has just recorded it,s first case of Leprosy in generations! A disease that had been wiped out

China is doing it,s upmost to keep even mild Omicron version of Covid out of their country, people and it,s cities ...Putin is terrified of catching Covid! It beggars the question to be asked ...what do they know that we globally yet do not know about what exactly has been released and is happening?

I agree with the comments ,chemical cocktail food linked with weak immune systems, what has been released ! And what don't we know that they do ? They being the group guiding the world's government's.
