Monkeypox in Kosovo, doctor: It is not easily transmitted to humans, care must

After confirming the first case of monkeypox in Kosovo, doctor Ilir Alimehmeti has provided clarification on the nature of this virus and the risks it may pose.

Alimehmeti said monkeypox is most prevalent in areas of Africa and usually infects travelers.

"This is not a virus that is easily transmitted from person to person. There have been no deaths from monkeypox in Europe, and it does not appear to be an alarm for Europe, Kosovo or Albania," he said.

Alimehmeti emphasized that the monkeypox virus belongs to the same family as chickenpox, which has been eradicated thanks to mass vaccination.

"The chickenpox vaccine, which many of us have received, also helps protect against monkeypox," the doctor said.

He mentioned that there are specific vaccines for this disease, which are recommended for people traveling to high-risk areas or who have contact with those infected.

"Of course, you have to be careful, but I don't believe there will be major consequences," the doctor said.

"It would be a completely different situation if the case was a person with no travel history," he added.
