On February 15, the Cambodian Ministry of Health issued a press release confirming the discovery of a new case of monkeypox in the capital Phnom Penh, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 12.
Results from the National Institute of Public Health of Cambodia on February 13 showed that there was one more case of monkeypox in Meanchey district of the capital. The patient is currently being treated at the hospital.
Cambodia has detected a total of four monkeypox cases since February 11. This brings the total number of monkeypox cases in Cambodia to 12 since the first case was recorded in July 2022.
The Cambodian Ministry of Health assessed that the newly discovered cases showed that the monkeypox infection in the country was increasing, following the global trend. According to information released by the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 25, monkeypox has appeared in 117 countries, with over 93,000 cases, including 176 deaths.
The Cambodian Ministry of Health calls on and reminds people to pay attention to their own health and that of their families, to prevent and stop the risk of a large-scale monkeypox outbreak by carefully understanding the transmission method and strictly following disease prevention measures. The Ministry will also update information on the disease on a weekly basis.
According to the recommendations of the Cambodian Ministry of Health, the monkeypox virus is transmitted from person to person through sexual intercourse with an infected person in any form, through direct contact with open wounds, secretions, saliva, respiratory droplets and household items such as clothes, mattresses, towels, bowls, cups, spoons... In addition, this virus is also transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and after birth through direct contact, if the pregnant woman or father and mother are infected with the monkeypox virus.
