Epidemiologist determined the history of the appearance of monkeypox in the Russian Federation

Medical Doctor, epidemiologist Vadim Pokrovsky said that monkeypox could come to Russia in a few months. This is reported by “Lenta.ru”.

Pokrovsky believes that monkeypox will inevitably end up in Russia, but widespread spread of the disease is unlikely. This is due to the characteristics of the disease.

“We need to be guided that there will be isolated cases in the next month or two. The epidemiologist will be predominantly imported – that is, either from foreigners or from people infected abroad.

“People haven’t been vaccinated against smallpox for decades, so the population’s immunity is pretty weak and import is likely,” he said.

British scientists before declarationThat the symptoms of new cases of monkeypox in the UK are very different from previous cases of the disease in other countries. All patients had skin lesions and other symptoms. The illness was mostly mild, most recovered during home isolation.
