00:00Two more active cases of MPOX were added to the country, one of them is a minor.
00:06Chino Gaston was the one who was diagnosed.
00:07Two confirmed cases of monkeypox were reported by the health department,
00:15so the total number of cases in the country has increased to 14 since July 2022.
00:21Added to the five active cases now is the monkeypox case number 13,
00:26a 26-year-old woman from Metro Manila.
00:29Her symptoms of rashes and fever started on August 20.
00:34Monkeypox case number 14 is the youngest of the active cases,
00:38a 12-year-old man from Calabarzon whose symptoms started on August 10.
00:44Both are in home quarantine and are recovering from the two new cases.
00:49Based on the DOH's investigation,
00:51they did not leave their homes until they found symptoms.
00:55Our field investigators, our field epidemiologists,
00:59when they ask about the new cases,
01:01they already have this assumption that it is a local transmission.
01:05It is not imported, it is also not severe because it has been circulating for a long time.
01:10Monkeypox clade 2 variant.
01:12All 14 cases of monkeypox in the country, according to the DOH, are mild versions of the disease.
01:19The common symptoms of monkeypox are fever,
01:22clots in the body and swelling,
01:25and pain in the lymph nodes or joints, neck, or shoulders.
01:30If you have symptoms, as far as possible, avoid other people first.
01:34Do not leave the house and consult a doctor for examination.
01:39We are just correcting that we do not need to stay at home for now
01:44except if you have symptoms.
01:46If we see that it is already there, it does not mean that we should be worried.
01:51It is possible that it is just a combination of ticks, chicken pox, shingles,
01:57and other reasons that may have bugs in our skin.
02:00The priority now is vaccine distribution.
02:03Countries in Africa, where monkeypox was first seen,
02:07are also monitoring the monkeypox clade 3 variant,
02:11which is not yet clear how it spreads and how bad the effect is on the human body.
02:17According to the DOH, to avoid the infection of monkeypox,
02:21avoid close contact with other people.
02:24Wear long sleeves and pants instead of shorts or pants.
02:29Always wash your hands using soap or alcohol and hand sanitizer.
02:35And for professions that require close contact with people,
02:38like barbers, it is better to wear a face mask.
