The case was officially declared to EODY with clinical symptoms compatible with the disease by the "Andreas Syngros" Hospital. The man is reported to have been infected with monkeypox[/B] after a recent trip to Portugal.[/B]
The patient is being treated in stable condition and experts do not seem particularly concerned about his health.
EODY notes, however, that based on international organisations, the risk for the general population is low, as the disease is usually mild and self-limiting and the disease is characterised by relatively low transmissibility.
However, it is expected to update its guidance to health units and hospitals to be vigilant in case suspicious symptoms are detected in a patient.
