一位发言人称,目前的名称不符合世卫组织建议避免使用地理区域和动物名称的指导原则。

The current name doesn’t fit with WHO guidelines that recommend avoiding geographic regions and animal names, a spokesperson said.

▌我国发布猴痘诊疗指南

今年5月以来,世界多个非流行国家报告了猴痘病例,且存在社区传播。

15日,我国发布了首个猴痘诊疗指南。该指南指出猴痘病毒在人与人之间主要通过密切接触传播,也可通过飞沫传播。

据新华社,世卫组织最新发布的数据显示,目前已有39个国家向世卫组织报告猴痘确诊病例1600多例和疑似病例近1500例,确诊病例绝大多数来自欧洲。39个国家中包括7个猴痘疫情已存在多年的国家和32个疫情新暴发国家。

The WHO said during a news briefing on Tuesday that it had received reports of 1,600 confirmed and 1,500 suspected monkeypox cases this year from 39 countries. Thirty-two countries among them are newly affected by the virus and the strain detected there is the West Africa variant-the less deadly one.

根据《国际卫生条例》规定,世卫组织紧急委员会决定于23日召开会议,评估目前猴痘疫情是否构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。

“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”是世卫组织可以发布的全球最高级别公共卫生事件。2020年1月底,世卫组织宣布新冠疫情构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。
