Les États-Unis se préparent à vacciner les personnes ayant été en contact proche avec des patients atteints de la variole du singe, au moment où le pays, qui compte aujourd'hui cinq cas probables ou confirmés, s'attend à voir leur nombre augmenter. «Nous souhaitons maximiser la distribution de vaccins à ceux dont nous savons qu'ils en bénéficieraient», a déclaré lundi Jennifer McQuiston, responsable au sein des Centres de prévention et de lutte contre les maladies (CDC).

Le Maroc a découvert trois cas suspects de variole du singe, pour la première fois dans le royaume, a annoncé lundi soir le ministère de la Santé. «Nous avons détecté trois cas suspects de variole du singe qui sont en bonne santé et sous surveillance médicale», a précisé le docteur Mouad Mrabet, le coordonnateur du Centre national des opérations d'urgence de santé publique. Dans une déclaration, Mouad Mrabet a souligné que les analyses médicales étaient en cours et que les résultats seront connus «prochainement». Il n'a indiqué ni les lieux de détection des cas suspects, ni l'identité des trois personnes. Le ministère de la Santé vient de publier un «plan de surveillance et de risposte» pour la détection et le traitement des cas de variole du singe et pour la protection sanitaire.

La variole du singe, cousine moins dangereuse de la variole éradiquée depuis une quarantaine d'années, a fait son apparition soudaine ces dernières semaines dans des pays où elle n'est normalement que très rare: l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord.

Alors que les cas continuent d'augmenter hors des zones endémiques d'Afrique, l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) a confirmé lundi une situation «atypique», mais elle a jugé possible de «stopper» cette transmission de la maladie entre humains.

Monkeypox can be contained in countries outside of Africa where the virus is not usually detected, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.

More than 100 cases of the virus - which causes a rash and a fever - have been confirmed in Europe, the Americas and Australia.

That number is expected to rise still, but experts say the overall risk to the broader population is very low.

The virus is most common in remote parts of Central and West Africa.

"This is a containable situation," the WHO's emerging disease lead Maria Van Kerkhove said at a news conference on Monday.

"We want to stop human-to-human transmission. We can do this in the non-endemic countries," she added - referring to recent cases in Europe and North America.

The Moroccan Health Ministry announced this evening it identified three suspected monkeypox cases in the country.

All three patients are in good health and currently under medical surveillance, said the Coordinator of the National Center for Public Emergency Operations at the Ministry in a video statement issued this Monday.

Up until this point, there are no confirmed cases in Morocco.

The Ministry established an action plan to deal with the possible outbreak of the monkeypox virus, following the detection of dozens of cases across Europe.

The Ministry advised individuals who suspect having the virus and experience symptoms such as fever, rashes and fatigue, urgently consult with a physician.

If the doctor confirms that the patient may be suffering from the monkeypox virus, they would require to self-quarantine for 14 days, while taking treatment.
