Things are slowly starting to go back to normal post the Covid-19 pandemic, but on July 23, 2022, the WHO Director-General declared the global monkeypox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
As of 29th July 2022, CDC reported 22,485 confirmed cases globally. United States of America recorded 4,906 monkeypox cases in the country, surpassing Spain. Other countries like Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, Netherlands, and United Kingdom also have high numbers of monkeypox cases. India has reported around 4 cases till date.

Monkeypox virus, most common in Central and West Africa, is a viral zoonosis (transmissible to humans from animals) with symptoms that highly resemble smallpox. It occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas. Although the severity of this disease is much lesser, it is increasingly appearing in many countries throughout the world.
Fever
Headache
Muscle aches and backache
Swollen lymph nodes
Chills
Exhaustion
Respiratory symptoms (sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough)
Rashes, pimples, and/or blisters
Monkeypox is usually transmitted through direct contact or sexually. Respiratory drops from infected people, bites or scratches from infected animals also spread the disease.
The virus can get into your body through a break in the skin or through your mouth, nose, or eyes. Monkeypox isn't technically considered a sexually transmitted infection (STI) since you can get it from other forms of contact. But people infected with monkeypox can pass it on during sex.
Monkeypox has a fatality of 3 to 6%. The disease is normally detected through testing and requires the patient to isolate to avoid further infection. The disease lasts from 2 to 4 weeks and is quite serious in children heavily exposed to the virus, or with a weaker immune system.
When travelling to a foreign country, especially if that country is at high-risk for monkeypox, then one must try to avoid close contact with people having skin lesions. You must also avoid contact with infectious wild animals, or contaminated material such as clothing, bedding materials, etc.
If you are exposed to Monkeypox virus, some things you can do are:
Check for symptoms within 21 days after exposure
Self-isolate to contain the spread of the disease
Check your temperature twice a day
If you need to travel but are infected, then inform your insurer about the delay and avoid travel by public transport until you get the all clear from a health-care professional.
