Zero Monkeypox Cases, Health Office Chief Urges Public to Remain Alert

Starfruit (malangkota.go.id) – Although until now in Malang City there have been no reports of cases related to monkeypox, all residents are urged to remain vigilant by taking preventive measures. Maintaining the body's immune system by consuming nutritious food intake is one way, because the main target of this disease virus is the body's immune system.

Other anticipations that can be done are by diligently exercising and living a healthy lifestyle. In addition, if you are in or gather in a community, you should always be vigilant and be able to protect yourself well, at least wearing a mask because the transmission of this virus is also through the air.

Some of these things were emphasized by the Head of the Malang City Health Service, dr. Husnul Muarif when met, Monday (13/11/2023). The bespectacled man said that this virus must always be watched out for, because it can attack anyone regardless of age.

Some of the early signs of monkeypox sufferers are high body temperature, red spots on the face and hands and enlarged spleen glands. "If someone experiences these signs, then immediately go to the nearest doctor or health center so that they can be treated immediately," he advised.

"We have anticipated this disease, so all health facilities, both government and private, are on standby. We hope that no residents will be affected. But if there are, we are ready," he concluded. (say/yon)
