Quick Glance: Thailand Reports First Mpox Case in Asia
- Thailand has confirmed its first case of a new, more dangerous strain of Mpox, marking the second confirmed case outside Africa. The patient, who traveled from an unnamed African country, was found to carry the clade 1b strain, as reported by the Thai Department of Disease Control.
- Travelers arriving from 42 'risk countries' are required to register and undergo testing upon arrival in Thailand. If any symptoms resembling chickenpox are observed, further testing is mandated. The head of the Thai Department of Disease Control noted that Mpox is less likely to spread rapidly compared to Covid due to the close contact necessary for transmission.
- Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, is a highly infectious disease primarily found in West and Central Africa. The new clade 1b strain has raised global concerns due to its increased infectivity and lethality. A case of this variant was confirmed in Sweden last week, indicating a potential spread beyond the African continent.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global health emergency in response to the new strain. According to the WHO, the spread of this deadlier variant can be managed and should not be compared to Covid. Over the past week, around 1,400 Mpox infections have been reported in Africa, raising the total to nearly 19,000 cases this year.
