Israel on Saturday
reported its first confirmed case of monkeypox, which officials expected would
be contained.
The case is a man in his 30s who had returned from a trip in
western Europe, according to the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center - Ichilov,
where he is quarantined and in mild condition.
Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said a few hundred vaccines,
mainly for medical staff treating potential patients, may be purchased in order
to prevent further infection. "This is not a pandemic, it's nothing like
coronavirus," he told N12 News.
He did not give details of the vaccine but the smallpox
vaccine can also protect against monkeypox.
Monkeypox is an infectious disease that is usually mild, and
is endemic in parts of west and central Africa. It is spread by close contact,
which means it can be relatively easily contained through such measures as
self-isolation and hygiene once a new case is identified.
The recent outbreak in more than 10 other countries where it
is not endemic is highly unusual, according to scientists. More than 100
confirmed or suspected cases have been reported, most of them in Europe.
