But our authorities are in full swing with the detection, and we follow it every day, "says Magnus Heunicke to TV 2. Denmark is one of a string of European countries that have experienced cases of infection with the disease, which was found in humans for the first time in 1970. The National Board of Health has confirmed that two Danish men have been infected with monkey pox on trips abroad. According to the Danish health authorities, however, there is no reason to panic, as the disease is not very contagious and typically only produces mild courses. According to the Danish Health and Medicines Authority, this indicates that the infection is particularly widespread among men who have sex with men, even though the disease can affect everyone. Therefore, the National Board of Health has been in dialogue with the AIDS Foundation and LGBT + Denmark and asked them to reach out and draw attention to the advice on protection during intercourse. The symptoms of monkey pox include fever, chills and a rash with blisters that can cause sores when they heal. The rapporteurs had already been summoned to a meeting on Wednesday with the Minister of Health. Therefore, the briefing on monkey cups is just another item on the agenda.
