00:00The case of a minor MPOX patient from Batangas, according to the Department of Health,
00:08aside from skin-to-skin contact, can also be infected with the sharing of towel.
00:14J.P. Soriano has a report.
00:18The 12-year-old man who was infected with MPOX in Batangas is recovering.
00:24He is the first case of MPOX in the Calabar Zone and the 14th confirmed case in the country since July 2022, according to the DOH.
00:35I am hopeful and also according to our rural health unit, the child's recovery is fast.
00:44According to infectious disease expert Dr. Rod Jean Solante, household transmission occurred.
00:50There may be someone in the house who tested positive and he is not alone.
00:55That's why the DOH is also monitoring the patient's family.
00:59According to the DOH, the disease is not airborne.
01:04The transmission of MPOX is through close and intimate contact, including touch and sex.
01:12It can also be infected with the sharing of towel and clothes, but the likelihood is lower.
01:18To avoid it, the body must always be clean and the items that may be contaminated with the said virus should be cleaned.
01:26If going to a public place, wear long sleeves or jacket for additional protection.
01:32Also, avoid touching animals that may have a virus such as mongoose.
01:377 to 21 days before the symptoms of the disease come out.
01:43You will get sick. After you get sick, you will have a cough.
01:46Then the cough will come out.
01:48First it will be rash, then it will be like water.
01:52The World Health Organization believes that there should be an immediate MPOX testing to avoid the spread of the disease.
01:59They are encouraging the manufacturers of testing kits to review their products immediately.
