The recent warnings from the CDC and WHO about rising infections of Parvovirus B19 and a new mpox outbreak exemplify the urgency for public health measures, especially as schools reopen in NYC.
Dr. Manish Sharma emphasized, 'The risk of Mpox spread to the United States is still very low at this time... seek medical care and avoid contact if symptomatic after recent travel to DRC.'
Increased awareness about illnesses like mpox and Parvovirus is crucial. Dr. Sharma notes, 'Learning about the illnesses, including their symptoms and how they are spread, can help.'
NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan commended WHO's alerts, highlighting the city's proactive steps to contain and manage the health threats ahead of the school season.
