据日本放送协会（NHK）报道，鉴于世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布猴痘（Monkeypox）构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”，日本政府于8月16日召集相关省厅的局级干部举行会议，研究了防范对策。
会议首先共享了非洲等地的猴痘疫情信息，与会者决定今后将继续收集相关信息，并在必要时发出防疫警示，提醒国民加强防疫措施。同时，会议还确认了医疗机构的相应检查和接受患者的体制是否存在不足，以备国内发生感染疫情。
日本厚生劳动省介绍称，如果国内出现猴痘疑似感染病例，将由当事人所在都道府县的地方卫生研究所负责检查。治疗方法原则上采取对症治疗措施，位于东京的国立国际医疗研究中心等医疗机构已经做好了接收猴痘重症患者、施以相应抗病毒治疗的准备。
此外，日本政府还表示，将密切关注全球猴痘疫情的发展，并与其他国家和地区合作，共同应对这一公共卫生挑战。
猴痘是一种由猴痘病毒引起的人畜共患传染病，主要在非洲的啮齿类动物中传播。人感染猴痘的症状包括发热、头痛、肌肉痛、背痛、乏力、淋巴结肿大、寒战、咳嗽、咽痛、结膜炎、非特异性皮疹等。猴痘病毒可以通过直接接触感染动物的血液、体液、分泌物、皮毛或受污染的物品传播给人类。
日本政府呼吁国民，如果近期有前往猴痘疫情高发地区的计划，应采取适当的预防措施，并在回国后密切关注身体状况，如有不适，应及时就医。同时，政府也将加强对入境人员的监测，以防止猴痘疫情的传入。
随着全球猴痘疫情的不断发展，日本政府将继续采取必要措施，确保国民的健康和安全。

Title: Japan Implements Measures to Combat Monkeypox Outbreak
According to NHK, Japan’s National Public Broadcasting Corporation, in response to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) declaration that Monkeypox constitutes a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” the Japanese government convened a meeting of bureau chiefs from relevant ministries and agencies on August 16 to discuss preventive measures.
The meeting began by sharing information on the Monkeypox outbreak in Africa and other regions. Participants decided to continue gathering relevant information and issue health alerts when necessary, urging citizens to strengthen preventive measures. Additionally, the meeting confirmed whether there were any deficiencies in the medical institutions’ systems for checking and admitting patients, in preparation for a potential domestic outbreak.
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan explained that if there were suspected cases of Monkeypox in the country, they would be checked by the local health research institutes in the prefectures where the individuals reside. Treatment would be primarily symptomatic, and medical facilities such as the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Tokyo had prepared to receive severe Monkeypox patients and administer appropriate antiviral treatments.
Furthermore, the Japanese government stated that it would closely monitor the global Monkeypox situation and cooperate with other countries and regions to jointly address this public health challenge.
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by the Monkeypox virus, primarily transmitted among rodents in Africa. Human symptoms of Monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, chills, cough, sore throat, conjunctivitis, and a non-specific rash. The virus can be transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animals’ blood, bodily fluids, secretions, fur, or contaminated materials.
The Japanese government urged citizens to take appropriate preventive measures if they plan to travel to areas with high Monkeypox outbreaks and to monitor their health closely upon return. If they experience any symptoms, they should seek medical attention immediately. The government also plans to enhance monitoring of incoming travelers to prevent the spread of the Monkeypox outbreak.
As the global Monkeypox situation continues to evolve, the Japanese government will take necessary measures to ensure the health and safety of its citizens.
