Understanding MPOCs and Current Risks
MPOCs, particularly the clade one virus, have recently raised global health concerns, with a significant health emergency declared by the World Health Organization. However, the general public's risk remains low as no cases of this specific strain have been reported in the U.S. The health emergency declaration mainly serves to prepare governments and public health organizations to enhance surveillance and response efforts. Given past events, such as the 2022 outbreak of clade two, U.S. health agencies are equipped with effective testing methods, including wastewater testing and clinical sampling, to monitor and control any potential spread.
