##South Korea Re-designates Monkeypox as Quarantinable Infectious Disease

This marks the second time South Korea has designated monkeypoxas a quarantinable infectious disease in eight months.
South Korea first designated monkeypox as a quarantinable infectious disease in June 2022 and lifted the designation in December of the same year. However, with the WorldHealth Organization (WHO) declaring the monkeypox outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and the increasing spread of the disease globally, the South Korean government decided to re-designate monkeypox as a quarantinable infectious disease.
This measure will strengthen quarantine efforts against monkeypox. Epidemiological investigation officers and public health doctors will be stationed at the boarding gate of Ethiopian Airlines direct flights arriving at Incheon International Airport. The government will also designate Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, Kenya, Congo, and the Democratic Republicof Congo as quarantine management areas due to the emergence of confirmed cases of the type I variant in these countries. Travelers from these areas with symptoms will be required to report upon entry.
Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus. Initial symptoms of monkeypox in humans include fever, swollenlymph nodes, and others. As of August 9, South Korea has confirmed 10 cases of monkeypox.
South Korea’s re-designation of monkeypox as a quarantinable infectious disease reflects its concern over the outbreak and indicates its commitment to taking proactive measures to prevent the spread of monkeypox withinthe country.
