Since the beginning of the current outbreak of monkeypox in Russia, two imported cases have been confirmed. Both patients were discharged from infectious diseases hospitals after full recovery. Thanks to the timely isolation of patients and promptly taken anti-epidemic measures, it was possible to avoid the emergence of a chain of infections.
Rospotrebnadzor is taking all necessary measures to stop the risks of importing monkeypox, as well as to prevent the possibility of the spread of this disease. There is no need to conduct any additional anti-epidemic measures on the territory of Russia.
When the first reports of cases of monkeypox appeared in European countries, sanitary and quarantine control was strengthened at the Russian border. Today, throughout Russia, there is the possibility of operational testing for monkeypox. Comprehensive methodological recommendations on the procedure for identifying people with suspected this disease have been brought to medical institutions.
