00:00As part of the fight against M-Pox, we will also ask the travel forum of those who came from abroad if they got infected or had rashes.

00:09Maki Polido is on the spot.

00:15The more contagious strain of monkeypox, clade 1b, has not yet entered the Philippines

00:20due to the current outbreak in the Republic of Congo.

00:23But it is now being monitored by the Bureau of Quarantine.

00:26Therefore, in the health declaration of the electronic travel forum, I will ask if the passenger has rashes or bumps on the body.

00:33The Department of Health said that the passenger who has symptoms, has exposure to the M-Pox case

00:40or came from the country where the outbreak area of the World Health Organization was declared,

00:45if it is a suspect case, the passenger will be brought to an M-Pox referral hospital.

00:49As of now, there are 14 cases of monkeypox in the Philippines due to the mild strain of clade 2b.

00:55The latest case is a 12-year-old, the youngest M-Pox patient.

01:00What is known is where and how the young patient was infected.

01:04We are sure that he did not come out when he had symptoms.

01:07So we don't think that he spread symptoms or our virus.

01:12The DOH is expecting an increase in the number of cases because the number of people who will be tested will increase.

01:18We are scaling up the testing.

01:20When we say scale up, two parts of the testing are the sample collection and the PCR.

01:26Skin-to-skin contact or skin-to-skin is the mode of transmission of M-Pox.

01:31Dr. Ron G. Insolante, an infectious disease expert, explained that it will not be contagious if it is just a rash.

01:37It needs to be in contact for a long time, so it is limited.

01:39It can be transmitted through intercourse.

01:41Household transmission can also be done from family members at home.

01:46If you go to the LRT and you have a companion with a skin lesion,

01:51it is unlikely that you can get it.

01:54It's unlikely.

01:56It's unlikely. It takes a longer exposure for you to have that.

02:01Longer and repeated exposure.

02:04The first symptoms are fever and itchiness for four to five days.

02:09It will follow by rashes that will start on the face and spread to the hands and legs.

02:14The patient can only be infected if he has skin lesions.

02:17The rashes will appear like a macula, like a pimple.

02:22And then it will develop into a papilla.

02:25It's like there's a white thing that's about to become watery.

02:29And then it will develop into vesicular rashes, like chicken pox.

02:35For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for 24 Hours.

02:44.
