00:00There is a reminder and clarification from the health department regarding MPOX.
00:06It is not airborne and can only be obtained through long-term skin-to-skin contact.
00:12Oscar Oida is on the line.
00:18On the other side of the news about MPOX,
00:21according to the health department,
00:23there are still many who do not fully understand the disease.
00:27I asked some Filipinos what they know about MPOX.
00:31It's like a lump of water.
00:33It hurts the skin.
00:35And how does it get infected?
00:37In the saliva or when it gets stuck.
00:40In the air.
00:41That's why the health department issued some clarifications.
00:47It is not airborne and can only be obtained through long-term skin-to-skin contact.
00:52To avoid it,
00:54you must always clean your body
00:56and disinfect or clean the possible contaminants of the said virus.
01:02It kills the soap and washing.
01:04If you are going to a public place,
01:06wear long sleeves or jacket for additional protection.
01:11Avoid touching animals that may have a virus such as mongoose.
01:16Healthcare providers such as hospitals are obligated
01:20to let the DOH know immediately
01:22those who have been diagnosed or confirmed with MPOX
01:25within 24 hours.
01:28During their close contact,
01:30they need to monitor or self-monitor
01:33the possible symptoms
01:35within 21 days after the last contact.
01:40Because to be infected,
01:43you need to have a blister.
01:45Passengers are also obligated to enter and leave the country
01:49if they have rashes or pimples
01:53or blisters in the last 30 days before the trip.
01:58This is included in the travel form.
02:01Tell the truth and don't be afraid
02:04because this is for the safety of all.
02:06If you have pimples or blisters,
02:09you will be contacted by the Bureau of Quarantine respectfully
02:12for a secondary screening
02:16so that you can be examined as a suspect in an MPOX case.
02:20For GMA Integrated News,
02:22Oscar Oida, Nakatutok, 24 hours.
