The National Health Commission and the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention have organized experts to interpret. The relevant person in charge of the Health Emergency Center of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that China has established a multi-channel monitoring and warning system for monkeypox, continuously carried out risk assessment and timely reporting, and will strengthen health education for key populations in the next step, promoting prevention and timely medical treatment for key populations. Shi Guoqing, deputy director and researcher of the Health Emergency Center of China CDC, said that monkeypox is a zoonotic viral disease caused by Monkeypox virus infection, and Monkeypox virus mainly enters the human body through damaged skin and mucosa. According to the report of the World Health Organization, the monkeypox epidemic since May 2022 has basically infected people who have Gay sexual practices and their associated groups. It is reported that in order to detect patients as soon as possible, China has established a multi-channel monitoring and early warning system for monkeypox, including monitoring entry personnel; The dermatology and venereal disease clinics and AIDS counseling and testing clinics of medical institutions across the country are required to ask about the epidemiological history of monkeypox like patients in a timely manner after they are found, and collect samples in a timely manner to send them to relevant laboratories for testing; Health education should be carried out for key groups, such as those who have Gay sexual practices, and it should be clear that they should seek medical advice in time once symptoms occur. According to the Technical Guide for Monkeypox Prevention and Control (2022 Edition), in order to prevent Monkeypox virus infection, entry-exit personnel and people in epidemic areas need to pay attention to the information about the monkeypox epidemic situation in the country where the disease is endemic, and try to avoid contact with rodents and primates (including sick or dead animals). At the same time, returning personnel from epidemic areas should pay attention to self health monitoring. When symptoms such as rashes appear, they should proactively seek medical attention and inform the attending doctor of their travel history in the epidemic area to assist in diagnosis and treatment.
