WHO issued the highest level of alert amid mpox outbreak which has become a global concern because it is rapidly spreading through close contact
After the strains of mpox virus were detected outside Africa, World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) officials on Friday (August 16) advised countries not to close borders or impose any travel restrictions.
At least one case of the mpox virus was confirmed by the health ministry of Pakistan. This virus has become a global concern because it is rapidly spreading through close contact.
"There is no need to close borders. When we are in disease outbreaks, diseases don't recognise borders, people will continue to cross a border, whether it is illegal crossing or not an illegal crossing. It doesn't stop the disease from spreading," said IFRC senior officer Bronwyn Nichol, while addressing a United Nations press briefing in Geneva.
WHO issues highest level of alert against mpox outbreakWHO spokesperson Margaret Harris said that
a list of temporary recommendations will be published by her agency for the countries.
The WHO announced that the outbreak of this disease is a public health emergency at the international level after they identified a new variant of the virus.
On Thursday (August 15), global health officials confirmed that
a new strain of the mpox virus has been detected in Sweden.
"On Sweden, in fact,
this is in a sense a really good news. I mean, it's not good news for the person who's got the infection, but it shows the system has worked and that countries have really stepped up their vigilance," WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris said.
The WHO sounded the highest level of alert on Wednesday (August 14) after the mpox outbreak was reported in Africa.
Comment: Isn't this the same institution that was calling for lockdowns and
vaccine passports during the contrived coronavirus crisis? More generally, it still supports the rollout of vaccine passports.
The
WEF reported in May 2020:
Countries must lift lockdowns gradually, while still being "on the look-out" for COVID-19 and ready to restore restrictions if the virus jumps back, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on 1st May.
The WHO recognises the difficulty for governments to maintain lockdowns during the pandemic, "for social, psychological and economic reasons", Ryan said.
"So we are very anxious that we can move to a situation where the disease can kept under control with less severe measures," he said.
"But at the same time we want to avoid a situation where we release measures too easily and then we bounce back into intense transmission and we have to do it all over again," he said.
La Trobe university
reported in October 2020:
Last week the World Health Organisation's special envoy on COVID-19, David Nabarro, said: "We in the World Health Organisation do not advocate lockdowns as the primary measure for the control of the virus."
Lockdowns are a good tactic in situations where transmission is spiralling out of control and there is a threat of the health system being overwhelmed. As Nabarro says, they can "buy you time to reorganise, regroup, rebalance your resources".
Obviously no sane person is advocating for lockdowns, but the conflicting advice is worth noting.
What's changed? The establishment doesn't want Mpox to interfere with their weaponised mass migration agenda? The comment from the WHO that 'people will continue to cross a border, whether it is illegal crossing or not' is certainly notable.
