00:00The Department of Health or DOH will neither implement border control community quarantine
00:04lockdowns nor will it require the use of face masks or face shields despite the new cases
00:10of mpox clade 2 in the country.
00:13In a meeting between the DOH and the Interagency Task Force for the Management of Emerging
00:18Infectious Diseases, the country has maintained a zero fatality rate from mpox despite community
00:24transmission and 9 cases from 2022 have also recovered while 14 active cases are recovering
00:31in their respective homes.
00:33The DOH assured the public there is no need to fear mpox as the department has sufficient
00:38knowledge on how to treat and prevent its spread.
00:41So our warning is, what is the risk?
00:45How will you get it?
00:47We don't need vaccines.
00:49We're on top of the situation.
00:51And I don't want measures that are overkill to this disease.
