01:15DOH said that these cases are now local transmission and are not connected to the outbreaks in the Republic of Congo
01:22that resulted in the declaration by the World Health Organization or WHO of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
01:29Now with heightened awareness and increased detection by our dermatologists and other primary care providers,
01:36we can now see our cases that are most likely in the area.
01:40Some are being monitored but the MPOCS case is not yet confirmed in a provincial hospital in Northern Samar.
01:46Five to ten MPOCS cases are reported daily by the DOH
01:51but it is not immediately reported to the public until the laboratory test is confirmed.
01:56Intimate skin-to-skin contact or skin-to-skin contact is the condition of the MPOCS, according to the DOH.
02:02If it is just a dapliz, for example, handshake, and there are no lesions,
02:05it is considered low-risk.
02:07You just need to drink alcohol and wash your hands.
02:09If it is a long-term skin contact, it is a medium-to-high risk.
02:13Intimate contact, when hugging, kissing, or kissing,
02:18that is prolonged, which means it becomes medium-to-high risk,
02:22especially since the patients cannot see their whole body.
02:26It is possible that in front, there is no bump,
02:29but in the back or in the area, there is a bump.
02:33If there is a prolonged sexual contact, it is high-risk.
02:37To avoid MPOCS, according to the DOH,
02:39in commuters or going to crowded places,
02:43wear a face mask and wear long sleeves and pants to avoid skin contact.
02:48The priority of the WHO is to give the MPOCS vaccine to the Congo where there is an outbreak,
02:53but the Philippines has already requested 2,000 doses of the vaccine.
02:57This is not yet a general vaccination.
02:59The priority is frontliners, particularly dermatologists.
03:03This is the next key population that the DOH will focus on.
