Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by a virus. There are a total of two types of genes and viruses. The first type of virus was found in Central African countries and the second in West African countries. However, the virus found in the Congo was considered the most dangerous.

In this situation, the monkey has started to spread beyond Africa to Europe. To date, monkeypox has been reported in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Meanwhile, a foreign traveler was diagnosed with monkey pox in the United Arab Emirates yesterday.

Symptoms

People with monkeypox may have fever, headache, body aches, back pain, tremors, and fatigue. Also, red spots appear on the body within 5 days of the onset of symptoms. Then they turn into blisters. Doctors say the blisters will disappear in the next 2-4 weeks.

Quarantine required

The European Defense Agency has advised that pets in the homes of monkey pox victims should be isolated for 21 days. Doctors say they should be evicted from the home and monitored for 21 days, especially if they are infected and have had pets near their belongings.

In addition, the organization said in a statement that "monkeypox sufferers should stay away from their pets for 21 days. Patients should wash their hands frequently."

Doctors at the European Defense Agency said the advice was given because pets could be at risk of contracting the disease if they were infected.
