00:00The Mpox virus will not lead to a health crisis similar to the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:09This is what virologist Amir Yunus said after the World Health Organization declared Mpox
00:14a global public health emergency on August 14th.
00:18Amir said Mpox is more stable than the coronavirus and not prone to the same kind of rapid mutations
00:24that made COVID-19 so deadly.
00:27He also said Mpox spreads through direct contact rather than through the air, which naturally
00:32limits its transmission.
00:34Meanwhile, virologist Kumita Devadas said one way to prevent Mpox is to practice good
00:40hygiene.
00:42She said Mpox has re-emerged due to a decline in immunity after smallpox vaccinations stopped
00:47in 1980.
00:49Kumita said the virus has an incubation period of one to 21 days and the Mpox vaccine will
00:55be effective if given within four days of exposure.
