BELGION: After four cases of monkeypox were reported last week, Belgium became the first country to make the 21-day quarantine mandatory for patients.

According to Saudi Gazette, quoting Belgian media, the Belgian health authorities made this decision on Friday. A unique bumpy rash, a fever, painful muscles, and a headache are all indications of monkeypox, which is a disease in the same family as smallpox. Monkeypox is less dangerous than smallpox, with a mortality rate of less than 4%, but researchers are concerned about the disease's unexpected spread outside of Africa, where it is normally found.

According to Saudi Gazette, citing Belgian daily Le Soir, the Belgian Institute of Tropical Medicine has stated that the likelihood of a wider outbreak in the country is minimal.

On Saturday, microbiologist Emmanuel Andre, who is in charge of the National Reference lab for COVID-19 in Belgium, said on Twitter that the country's fourth case had been confirmed. He tweeted, "This patient is being treated in Wallonia and is linked to the Antwerp episode in which two other persons were affected."

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization  said on Saturday that there were 92 confirmed cases in 12 countries, with another 28 suspected cases being investigated. According to Saudi Gazette, monkeypox cases have been confirmed in the United Kingdom, Portugal, Sweden, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
