What does this mean for Hungary?
This epidemic would look very different from Covid, the virologist pointed out, adding that everyone is thinking in terms of Covid-19, but this is a completely different virus that behaves and spreads in a completely different way. "At the moment, no preparations have to be done her, in Hungary," he said, adding:
More attention has to be focused on people who are members of an identified risk group as determined by epidemiological studies.
On the threat level to our country, Kemenesi said that Hungary cannot significantly be separated from other countries outside Africa, "we can expect a case coming in from foreign countries depending on how much travel we have or will have to this region".
"And, here is the most interesting unknown factor in all of this: because we really don't know what the post-epidemic picture of monkeypox will look like," he told the portal.
- However, if we consider the previous monkeypox outbreak, we can see that it is transmitted, for example, through sexual transmission, specifically through unprotected sexual intercourse or close contact," he said, stressing that it is difficult to estimate what the epidemiological scenario will be outside Africa at this stage of the spread.
We will have to wait for the data continuously collected by the epidemiological authorities and then we can see a more realistic picture,
he said, calling for patience.
