The evolution of the disease is worrying, because the cases of monkeypox are beginning to rise quite a bit

The Ministry of Health has updated this Friday, July 1, the number of cases of monkeypox recorded in Spain, and the figure already amounts to 1,200, an increase of 400 compared to the announcements this Tuesday, June 28. Carolina Darias has been in charge of answering this question that the journalists have asked her during her visit to the Marquis de Valdecilla University Hospitalin Santander, which she attended accompanied by the president of Cantabria, Miguel Angel Revilla.

Carolina Darias ask the public for peace of mindand above all, trust in the strategy that the Government of Spain has launched to control this outbreak that seems out of control: our country 5,500 doses of the smallpox vaccine are already available (which is 85% effective against monkeypox):”we have a significant amount“.

The Public Health Commission will meet next week to address the action protocol against monkeypox, and new measures or recommendations are planned to try to stop a disease that is reaching Spain for the first time with this intensity.
