Ulawulo oluqhelekileyo lwaseTshayina lweCustoms (GAC) lubhengeze ukuba abasemagunyeni baseTshayina baqalise ukuhlolwa kwabantu kunye neempahla ezingena kweli lizwe, ezazibizwa ngokuba yimonkeypox. Ngokutsho kwe-GAC, le migaqo mitsha iya kusebenza ubuncinane iinyanga ezintandathu.
Abantu abangena eTshayina besuka "kumazwe kunye nemimandla enamatyala aqinisekisiweyo esi sifo kufuneka baxelele amasiko ngesimo sabo sempilo xa befika ukuba babonakalisa iimpawu," ezinje ngomkhuhlane, intloko ebuhlungu, irhashalala, kunye nabanye, njengoko kuchaziwe yi-GAC. Isiteyitimenti saphinda saqaqambisa ukuba "amagosa esiko ayakwenza imigaqo yonyango kwaye enze iisampulu kunye novavanyo ngokweenkqubo ezimiselweyo."
Kwakhona, zonke izithuthi, izikhongozeli, kunye neempahla ezivela kwiindawo apho iimeko zempox zichongiwe kufuneka zihlanjwe.
I-GAC yenze isibhengezo sayo kwiintsuku nje ezimbini emva kokuhlelwa koMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) wokonyuka kwamva nje kosulelo e-Afrika njengesiqhelo. Unxunguphalo lweMpilo yoLuntu lweNgxaki yeHlabathi (PHEIC), ecaleni kwekhwelo lenyathelo lokugonya.
NgoLwesithathu, uGqr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, uMlawuli-Jikelele we World Health Organization, babongoze “impendulo elungelelanisiweyo yamazwe ngamazwe” ukunqanda ukusasazeka kwesi sifo nokukhusela ubomi kwihlabathi liphela. Esi sibongozo size emva kokuqhambuka kwentsholongwane kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseDemocratic Republic of the Congo eye yanda kumazwe akufutshane ekuqaleni kwale nyanga.
Ngo-2023, iKomishoni yezeMpilo yeSizwe yaseTshayina yachaza i-mpox njengesifo esosulelayo soDidi B, yasibeka ecaleni kwe-COVID-19, uGawulayo, kunye ne-SARS. Olu lwahlulo luvumele abasemagunyeni kuzwelonke ukuba baphumeze amanyathelo kaxakeka, abandakanya ukukhawulelana neendibano, ukumisa umsebenzi kunye nemisebenzi yokufundisa, kunye nokwahlula iindawo ezithile xa kuqhambuke.
I-Mpox yaqatshelwa njengesifo esahlukileyo ngo-1958 kwiinkawu zaselabhoratri eziseDenmark. Amatyala okuqala aqinisekisiweyo oluntu avela ngo-1970 eDemocratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), kunye naseLiberia naseSierra Leone. Intsholongwane ngokwembali ibisoloko ikho kumbindi we-Afrika, ngakumbi e-DRC.
Emva kokuvela kwayo ngasekupheleni kuka-2022, uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) ubhengeze imeko kaxakeka yezempilo yoluntu kwaye yaphinda yasitshintsha esi sifo njengempox ukuphelisa “ucalucalulo nolwimi olugxekayo.”
I-Mpox isasazwa ngoqhagamshelwano olusondeleyo kwaye inokukhokelela kwiimpawu ezifana nezo zomkhuhlane, kuquka irhashalala ephuhlayo ibe ngamadyungudyungu phambi koqweqwe, kunye ne-lymph nodes ezidumbileyo. UMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi ubonisa ukuba isigulo ngokubanzi sithambile, kwaye ukufa kwenzeka kuphela kwiimeko ezizodwa.
