                          Sick people are stable and are being followed up clinically.

                          Most infections were reported in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley area, but there were also cases in the North and Algarve.

                          The UK Health Safety Agency has identified men who have sex with men and who have multiple partners, participate in group sex or attend places where sex takes place on premises as the highest risk group.

                          The transmission of the virus is not specifically associated with homosexual relationships, but is favored by the proximity resulting from any type of sexual relationship.

                          According to health authorities, the clinical manifestation of Monkeypox is generally mild, with most infected people recovering from the disease within a few weeks.

                          Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and back pain, swollen lymph nodes, chills, exhaustion, progressing to a rash. The incubation period is typically six to 16 days, but it can be as long as 21, and when the crust of the rashes falls off, the infected person can no longer be contagious.

                                Number of Monkeypox cases rises to 365 and there are already in all regions of the country
                                N.N./Lusa
                                June 27, 2022 1:40 pm

                                Portugal recorded 17 more cases of Monkeypox, increasing the total number of confirmed infections to 365, the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) announced today, adding that there are already reported cases in all regions of the country.

                                “Most infections have been reported, to date, in Lisbon and Vale do Tejo, but there are already cases in the other regions (North, Center, Alentejo and Algarve)”, adds the DGS in a statement published on the website.

                                According to the DGS, all infections confirmed by the Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA) are in men between the ages of 19 and 61, most of whom are under 40 years of age.

                                “The identified cases remain under clinical follow-up and are stable”, he adds.

                                The Directorate-General for Health recalls that a person who is sick is no longer infectious only after complete healing and the shedding of crusts from skin lesions, a period that may eventually exceed four weeks.

                                The most common symptoms of the disease are fever, severe headache, muscle pain, back pain, tiredness, enlarged lymph nodes with the progressive appearance of rashes that affect the skin and mucous membranes.

                                Skin lesions usually begin one to three days after the onset of fever and may be flat or slightly raised, with clear or yellowish fluid, and eventually ulcerate and form crusts that later dry up and fall off.

                                The number of lesions on a person can vary, they tend to appear on the face, but can spread to the rest of the body and even reach the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. They can also be found in the mouth, genitals and eyes.

                                These signs and symptoms usually last between two to four weeks and go away on their own without treatment.

                                The DGS advises the person who has symptoms that could be caused by Monkeypox virus to seek health care. “In addition, if you have had close contact with someone with the infection or suspected infection, inform health professionals”, he says in a document about the disease published on the website.

                                The information collected through epidemiological surveys is being analyzed to contribute to the assessment of the outbreak at national and international level, says the health authority, adding that it continues to monitor the situation at national level in conjunction with European institutions.

                                The World Health Organization (WHO) said Saturday that the current outbreak of the monkeypox virus does not represent a public health emergency of international dimension, its highest alert level.

                                The director-general of the WHO agrees with the opinion of the experts of the International Emergency Committee that it does not determine that the event be treated as “a Public Health Emergency of International Concern”, that is, that the alert level be raised, read- in a Twitter message from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

                                Since the beginning of May 2022, 3,040 cases have been reported to the WHO in 47 countries, according to the most recent data presented at this meeting.
