China reports its first monkeypox case, an imported one.

A 29yo salesman of Chinese nationality had a trip to Germany from Sept 2 to Sept 8. He had sex with another man (presumbly a local) in Germany on the day he arrived. He then travelled to Spain and returned home on Sept 14.

He started showing symptoms on Sept 9, including red rashes, blisters, dry and itch throat and fever. On Sept 14, the day he returned home, he was diagnosed for monkeypox infection when he was in Covid quarantine facility in Chongqing.

现场纪要指出,一名29岁的中国籍销售人员于9月2日至8日访问德国,9月2日在柏林出现男男性行为。他随后前往西班牙,并于9月14日返回重庆。该男子曾出现喉咙干燥发痒,9月9日发烧,右脚踝出现红色皮疹和脓疱。9月11日,他前往一家私人诊所,服用消炎药。9月14日,他被隔离在重庆新冠肺炎隔离点。他自述出现猴痘样临床表现,随后被重庆市疾控中心确定为猴痘疑似病例。

经过检测,上述病例中的猴痘病毒 (China-CQ202209)属于西非系B.1支,与6月21日采集的德国病毒高度同源。这些结果确认了该病例是中国大陆首例输入性猴痘病例。

重庆报告输入性猴痘病例后,中国疾控中心流行病学首席专家吴尊友发文指出,新冠疫情防控的“外防输入”措施,为防止猴痘疫情输入,发挥了重要的保护屏障作用。这次重庆报告猴痘病例就是在新冠防控入境“7+3”隔离过程中发现的。

China is developing a monkeypox vaccine that will target the current strain of the virus.

China’s Monkeypox Shot Will Target the Actual Virus​

China has started work on a monkeypox vaccine using virus taken directly from a patient, marking a departure from the western approach of repurposing an existing shot as it seeks to counter incursions from elsewhere in the world.

Seems as long as it don't go airborne, it might be more easily avoided by a normal person than covid

Monkeypox primarily spreads through:

Close contact: This includes skin-to-skin contact, kissing, hugging, or sex with someone who has monkeypox.
Contact with infected rash, scabs, or bodily fluids: Direct contact with these can spread the virus.
Respiratory droplets: Extended face-to-face contact with an infected person can lead to transmission through respiratory droplets.
Contact with contaminated items: Sharing items like clothing, bedding, or towels with an infected person can increase the risk.
