Officials say the case was confirmed through two PCR tests at the Quebec Public Health Laboratory, but would not release further details on the specific case due to privacy concerns. “To date, worldwide, the majority of cases between children have been acquired through contact in the same household,” explains Marianne Paquette, spokesperson for the Center intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île. -de-Montréal. “The epidemiological investigation has been completed for the specific case and all the necessary interventions have been carried out to protect the health of the population.” Quebec has reported a total of 493 cases of monkeypox since the virus arrived in the province. The Public Health Service of Canada (PHAC) adds that there are 1,228 cases in nine provinces, with 35 hospitalizations and no deaths. Monkeypox is usually spread through close, prolonged contact with an infected person. Montreal public health officials note that people are considered at risk when:
Their skin or mucous membrane is in direct contact with skin lesions or biological fluids of a positive case. they come into contact with surfaces and objects contaminated by the biological fluids of a positive case. have face-to-face contact of less than one meter for three or more hours without a procedural mask with a positive case.
Symptoms may include a rash, swollen lymph nodes, and fever.
Health officials stress that anyone can become infected and spread the monkeypox virus and it has nothing to do with sexuality.
