CEBU CITY-- The Department of Health (DOH7)-Central Visayas reassured the public that DOH has already activated and intensified its surveillance activity for monkeypox as early as May and had already sent out samples of probable cases that turned out to be negative.
We remind the public that the prevention against covid-19 also work for preventing the spread of monkeypox. since monkeypox is transmitted via close contact with the skin lesion and fluid from the vesicles, physical distancing, avoiding crowded places and regular handwashing are effective. Staying at home when sick is also advised especially if coming from travel from countries with confirmed cases of monkeypox and seek medical consult as soon as possible. The heads of the health facilities have been advised and are ready to accept possible monkeypox cases for isolation and treatment.
Further, get the appropriate information from reliable sources for your guidance.
