According to him, increased disease surveillance across board has become urgently necessary as the Texas U.S. health authorities detect a monkeypox case traceable to Nigeria.Tomori, a leading virologist who helped spearhead Nigeria’s efforts to kick polio out of the country, spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Saturday.
According to Tomori, it is not the CDC but the health authorities of a county equivalent of our Local Government Area , that detected and announced the case.“This is a lesson for us not to unashamedly depend on NCDC for our disease surveillance and response, while states and LGAs run to Abuja for everything.On some of the prevention strategies to adopt, the virologist said that the first step would be to spread awareness among people about the infection.
“Those are the main points on information about the case that you will need to have in order to do a thorough investigation and see if more cases are occurring.“Again, I need to point out that the low numbers we are reporting for other diseases are aberrations and not real,” he told NAN. He explained that monkeypox was a very contagious infection which spreads through physical contact with an infected person or animal.
