00:00Two new cases of MPOCS were added to Metro Manila, and another case is being monitored in the province.

00:09According to the health department, there will be a local transmission of those cases.

00:14Maki Pulido is in charge of it.

00:17Two new cases of MPOCS were added to Metro Manila, and another case is being monitored in the province.

00:30MPOCS Case No. 11 is a 37-year-old man from Metro Manila who is confined in a public hospital.

00:37On August 20, his symptoms were first noticed.

00:41He had rashes all over his body, so he went to the doctor.

00:45Two new cases of MPOCS were added to Metro Manila, and another case is being monitored in the province.

00:48MPOCS Case No. 10 is a 32-year-old man from Metro Manila who is confined in a public hospital.

00:50On August 20, his symptoms were first noticed.

00:54He had rashes all over his body, so he went to the doctor.

00:57He was allowed to go home and he will stay at home for the rest of the isolation period.

01:03MPOCS Case No. 10 is a 32-year-old man from Metro Manila who is confined in a public hospital.

01:08MPOCS Case No. 10 is a 32-year-old man from Metro Manila who is confined in a public hospital.

01:10MPOCS Case No. 10 is a 32-year-old man from Metro Manila who is confined in a public hospital.

01:15DOH said that these cases are now local transmission and are not connected to the outbreaks in the Republic of Congo

01:22that resulted in the declaration by the World Health Organization or WHO of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

01:29Now with heightened awareness and increased detection by our dermatologists and other primary care providers,

01:36we can now see our cases that are most likely in the area.

01:40Some are being monitored but the MPOCS case is not yet confirmed in a provincial hospital in Northern Samar.

01:46Five to ten MPOCS cases are reported daily by the DOH

01:51but it is not immediately reported to the public until the laboratory test is confirmed.

01:56Intimate skin-to-skin contact or skin-to-skin contact is the condition of the MPOCS, according to the DOH.

02:02If it is just a dapliz, for example, handshake, and there are no lesions,

02:05it is considered low-risk.

02:07You just need to drink alcohol and wash your hands.

02:09If it is a long-term skin contact, it is a medium-to-high risk.

02:13Intimate contact, when hugging, kissing, or kissing,

02:18that is prolonged, which means it becomes medium-to-high risk,

02:22especially since the patients cannot see their whole body.

02:26It is possible that in front, there is no bump,

02:29but in the back or in the area, there is a bump.

02:33If there is a prolonged sexual contact, it is high-risk.

02:37To avoid MPOCS, according to the DOH,

02:39in commuters or going to crowded places,

02:43wear a face mask and wear long sleeves and pants to avoid skin contact.

02:48The priority of the WHO is to give the MPOCS vaccine to the Congo where there is an outbreak,

02:53but the Philippines has already requested 2,000 doses of the vaccine.

02:57This is not yet a general vaccination.

02:59The priority is frontliners, particularly dermatologists.

03:03This is the next key population that the DOH will focus on.

03:07For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok, 24 hours.
