00:00This is the most terrifying disease in the whole world.
00:08If you get infected by this virus,
00:11you will get skin infections like chicken pox or blisters.
00:16It can spread to your face, hands, feet, and even to your private parts.
00:22This is the M-pox.
00:25What do they mean by M-pox?
00:30What are its symptoms?
00:32And most of all, how can we avoid getting infected?
00:38What is alarming is that as of August 14,
00:41the World Health Organization declared M-pox
00:44as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
00:49The Democratic Republic of the Congo
00:52has been experiencing a severe outbreak of M-pox.
00:55This past week,
00:57the first case of M-pox was reported in the Philippines in 2024.
01:04Last week, we detected one case of M-pox.
01:09There's red, red, skin, blisters, that's what's scary.
01:13Of course, I'm also scared, that's why I need to be careful.
01:17How can we avoid getting infected by M-pox?
01:23Watch this.
01:37Like COVID-19, M-pox is a zoonotic disease.
01:43This means that it can be transmitted to humans from animals.
01:48In 1958, it was first reported to be transmitted to monkeys.
01:54In 1970, it was first reported to be transmitted to humans
01:58in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa.
02:02In 2022, the M-pox, which was only endemic in Central and West Africa,
02:08spread to many countries, including
02:12the Philippines.
02:13This is why it was declared a global outbreak.
02:20Unlike COVID-19, which is airborne,
02:25M-pox can be transmitted through close contact,
02:30such as holding hands, hugging,
02:32talking closely,
02:35kissing,
02:35and touching an infected person.
02:39It can also be transmitted when a person is holding a virus-contaminated object.
02:46It runs through different parts of the body.
02:48Some start in the head,
02:50some start here in the stomach, or in the stomach.
02:54This is now considered a public health emergency of international concern.
02:59Aside from the 14 countries in Africa
03:03where M-pox cases are thousands of thousands,
03:07there are also cases of M-pox in Sweden,
03:11Pakistan,
03:12Thailand,
03:13and the Philippines.
03:17The first recorded case of M-pox in the Philippines in 2024
03:22was a 33-year-old man from NCR.
03:26Many were surprised to learn that he has no travel history.
03:31This means that M-pox is already here in our country.
03:38According to the investigation,
03:40on August 15, the patient was consulted
03:43at a dermatology clinic in Quezon City.
03:46The dermatologist referred him to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine for testing
03:52where he was tested and found positive.
03:54It was also discovered that on August 11,
03:57he went to a spa in Quezon City to get a massage.
04:01He encountered something at the spa.
04:04We were able to get a list of possible close contacts.
04:07Based on contact tracing,
04:10it was discovered that 41 people were infected.
04:15The Department of Health is now monitoring their condition.
04:19The 27 people who were close contacts
04:24were quarantined at home for 21 days.
04:27The rest were self-monitored.
04:30Meanwhile, the patient is getting better.
04:34He is now confined to the RITM for the other illness.
04:37But if the M-pox is severe, he will be fine.
04:41The spread of M-pox is already alarming.
04:44But according to the WHO,
04:46it is easier to fight it than COVID-19.
04:50We know more about M-pox.
04:53We know how to prevent it.
04:55Our system is ready.
04:57Aside from having many cases,
05:00those infected with the virus get infected,
05:03their heads and bodies get sick,
05:05and their kidneys or lymph nodes get swollen.
05:08M-pox is a self-limiting disease.
05:13It is a disease that affects the liver and the uterus.
05:15When it is sick, it causes pain management.
05:17When it is dead, it can cause antihistamine.
05:21In fact, the first case of M-pox in the Philippines
05:25was reported from July 22 to December 2023
05:29They were isolated or quarantined in their homes
05:33for 21 days.
05:36They were not admitted to the facility.
05:37All of them went home and got better.
05:40What is wrong with their virus
05:43is the so-called clade 2 variant
05:46which has a mild or not so severe effect on the patient.
05:5099.9% of clade 2 survive.
05:54Since there is another case of M-pox in the Philippines,
05:57the DOH has a reminder.
05:59For us to avoid it,
06:00let's not stick to each other.
06:02Soap and water are contaminated against M-pox.
06:05Let's bring alcohol disinfectant.
06:07Wear a face mask because at this time,
06:09there are still infections circulating.
06:11We need to eat things that can help the system.
06:15At the same time, exercise.
06:16Most importantly, adequate sleep.
06:19I cannot pinpoint where I get it and how I get it.
06:23In our fight against M-pox,
06:26let's focus on the lessons learned during the pandemic.
06:30Let's take care and strengthen our immunity
06:33so that M-pox won't infect us.
