(MENAFN) Türkiye registered the nation’s first case of monkeypox outbreak.
“Monkeypox was detected in one of our patients. The patient is 37 years old, and has an immune deficiency,” Health Minister Fahrettin Koca tweeted.
The patient is quarantined, and the contact tracing has found no other infection, he also said.
“As we know, this disease is transmitted not via respiratory droplets, but through close physical contact.”
The World Health Organization is thinking if they want to state monkeypox a worldwide emergency, which would give it the same difference as the coronavirus epidemic and need a worldwide reaction.
Monkeypox is spread to humans through close contact with an ill person or animal, or with material contaminated with the virus.
