Maharashtra health dept issues guidelines for prevention, surveillance of monkeypox

Hindustan Times  

Amid the World Health Organisation announcement of monkeypox as a global health emergency, the state public health department issued guidelines for surveillance and management of the disease on Monday. Dr Radhakishan Pawar, joint director of health services, said, a single infected patient is considered an outbreak of monkeypox, so each case should be investigated by a rapid response team. “Close contact includes face-to-face interaction without protective gear, such as healthcare workers without personal protective equipment, physical contact, sexual contact, or contact with the patient’s used clothing, bedding, etc.” “Identifying close contacts of monkeypox patients must be done meticulously. In case of any suspected symptoms or cases, immediately contact the nearest government health facility,” said Amgothu Shri Ranga Nayak, commissioner of health services and managing director of the National Health Mission.
