Maafisa wa afya ya umma nchini Marekani wametangaza kuenea kwa ugonjwa wa Homa ya Nyani kuwa ni dharura ya afya ya umma. Tamko hilo litaweka huru rasilimali za ziada za serikali kusaidia kudhibiti kuenea kwa virusi.
Kufikia Agosti 3, zaidi ya kesi 6,600 za marehemu zilikuwa zimethibitishwa nchini Amerika, kulingana na Vituo vya Kudhibiti na Kuzuia Magonjwa (CDC).
Tumejitayarisha kupeleka majibu yetu katika ngazi inayofuata katika kushughulikia virusi hivi, na tunahimiza kila Mmarekani achukue tumbili kwa uzito," Katibu wa Afya na Huduma za Kibinadamu Xavier Becerra alisema katika mkutano mfupi Alhamisi.
Ugonjwa huo unaweza kusababisha dalili kama hiyo. kama vile homa, maumivu ya kichwa, maumivu, baridi, na vipele ambavyo vinaweza kuwashwa na kuumiza, lakini ni nadra sana kusababisha kifo.Hakujaripotiwa vifo nchini Marekani.
"Tumbilio inaweza kuenezwa tangu dalili zinapoanza hadi upele utakapopona, vipele vyote vimeanguka, na safu mpya ya ngozi imeundwa," ilisema tovuti ya CDC. "Ugonjwa kawaida huchukua wiki 2-4."
Ugonjwa huu unaweza kuenea kwa kugusana kwa muda mrefu na kwa karibu kwa ngozi, ikiwa ni pamoja na kukumbatiana, kukumbatiana na kumbusu, na kulala pamoja, taulo na nguo. Maafisa wa afya wamesisitiza kuwa mtu yeyote anaweza kuambukizwa ugonjwa huo, ingawa wanaume wanaofanya mapenzi na wanaume wamekuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuathirika.
Umoja wa Mataifa pia umekosoa habari mpya kuhusu virusi hivyo, ukionya kwamba uandishi duni wa habari unaweza "kuimarisha chuki za watu wa jinsia moja na ubaguzi wa rangi na kuzidisha unyanyapaa"
Utawala wa Biden umekabiliwa na ukosoaji kwa kushindwa kwake kuhakikisha upatikanaji wa chanjo ya ugonjwa huo, na kuchangia uhaba katika miji kama New York na San Francisco.
Mapema wiki hii, Ikulu ya White House ilitaja maafisa kutoka Shirika la Usimamizi wa Dharura la Shirikisho (FEMA) na CDC kutumika kama waratibu wa Ikulu ya White kukabiliana na milipuko hiyo.
Kotekote Marekani, idadi ya majimbo na manispaa tayari wametangaza dharura za afya ya umma. California, ambayo ina kesi 826 zilizothibitishwa, ilitangaza hali ya hatari mnamo Agosti 1, na jimbo la New York, ambalo lina kesi 1,666 zilizothibitishwa, lilitoa tangazo kama hilo mnamo Julai 29.
Mashirika ya afya ya kimataifa pia yamejibu. Shirika la afya duniani (WHO) lilitangaza kuenea kwa tumbili kuwa dharula ya afya ya umma ya kimataifa (PHEIC), kiwango cha juu zaidi cha tahadhari cha shirika la afya duniani, Julai 23.
Visa vimeripotiwa katika zaidi ya nchi 70 ambapo ugonjwa huo haujapatikana. kawaida sasa, na CDC imesema zaidi ya kesi 26,000 zimeripotiwa ulimwenguni kote.
Tumbili haijulikani kuwa virusi vya zinaa, lakini mawasiliano ya ngono yanaweza kujumuisha mawasiliano ya karibu, mojawapo ya njia kuu ambazo virusi hujulikana kuenea.
Umoja wa Mataifa umependekeza kupunguza idadi ya wapenzi wa ngono ili kupunguza hatari ya kuambukizwa. Wakati wanaume wanaofanya mapenzi na wanaume wamekuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuathirika, maafisa wa umma wamesisitiza kuwa mtu yeyote anaweza kuambukizwa tumbili.
"Tunajua kwamba virusi hivi vinaathiri kila mtu kwa usawa - lakini pia tunajua kwamba wale walio katika jumuiya yetu ya LGBTQ wako katika hatari kubwa hivi sasa," alisema Meya wa San Francisco London Breed katika taarifa ya Julai 28 akitangaza tumbili kuwa dharura ya afya ya umma.
"Wiki chache zilizopita, Idara ya Afya ya Umma ya San Francisco iliomba chanjo 35,000 kuanza kupata wale walio katika hatari zaidi ya kuambukizwa virusi," alisema Breed. "Kufikia sasa, katika wiki tatu zilizopita, hatujapokea theluthi moja ya ombi hilo ... tutahitaji zaidi ya chanjo 35,000 kulinda jamii yetu ya LGBTQ na kupunguza kasi ya kuenea kwa virusi hivi."

US public health officials have declared the spread of the monkeypox disease a public health emergency. The declaration will free up additional government resources to help contain the spread of the virus.
As of August 3, more than 6,600 cases of the decease had been confirmed in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
We're prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus, and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously," Secretary of health and Human Services Xavier Becerra said at a briefing Thursday.
The disease can result in a symptom such as fever, headache, aches, chills, and rashes that can be itchy and painful, but is rarely fatal. There have been no reported deaths in the United States.
“Monkeypox can be spread from the time symptoms start until the rash has healed, all scabs have fallen off, and a fresh layer of skin has formed,” said the CDC website. “The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks.”
The disease can spread through prolonged and close skin-to-skin contact, including hugging, cuddling and kissing, and sharing bedding, towels and clothing. Health officials have emphasised that anyone can contract the disease, although men who have sex with men have been more likely to be affected.
The United Nations has also criticised some new coverage about the virus, warning that poor journalism can “reinforce homophobic and racist stereotypes and exacerbate stigma”
The Biden administration has faced criticism for its failure to ensure the availability of vaccines for the disease, contributing to shortages in cities such as New York and San Francisco.
Earlier this week, the White House named officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the CDC to serve as the White House coordinators to combat the outbreak.
Across the US, a number of states and municipalities have already declared public health emergencies. California, which has 826 confirmed cases, declared a state of emergency on August 1, and New York state, which has 1,666 confirmed cases, made a similar announcement on July 29.
International health organisations have also responded. The world health Organization (WHO) declared the spread of monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), the global health organisation’s highest level of alert, on July 23.
Cases have been reported in more than 70 countries where the disease is not typically present, and the CDC has said more than 26,000 cases have been reported worldwide.
Monkeypox is not known to be a sexually transmitted virus, but sexual contact would constitute close contact, one of the main routes by which the virus is known to spread.
The UN has suggested limiting the number of sexual partners a person has to decrease the risk of transmission. While men who have sex with men have been disproportionately likely to be affected, public officials have stressed that anybody can contract monkeypox.
“We know that this virus impacts everyone equally – but we also know that those in our LGBTQ community are at greater risk right now,” said San Francisco Mayor London Breed in a July 28 statement declaring monkeypox a local public health emergency.
“A few weeks ago, the San Francisco Department of Public Health requested 35,000 vaccines to start to get at those most at risk for contracting the virus,” said Breed. “So far, in the last three weeks, we’ve barely received a one-third of that request … we are going to need far more than 35,000 vaccines to protect our LGBTQ community and to slow the spread of this virus.”
