1. On January 9, 2025, Chinese authorities (China Center for Disease Control (China CDC)) announced that one imported case of Empox (clade 1b) and four related cases had been confirmed in China. The details are as follows:
"An outbreak of Empox Ib has been discovered in our country.
Recently, a cluster of Empox Ib infections was discovered in our country, with the source of infection being a foreigner who had a history of staying in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. After the disease was discovered, the state and provinces (municipalities) such as Zhejiang, Guangdong, Beijing and Tianjin quickly launched a joint prevention and control mechanism to trace the source and flow of infection, eliminate risks, and treat cases, and found four related cases in close contacts in quick succession. All of them were infected after close contact. The related cases mainly suffer from symptoms such as rash and blisters, and the symptoms are relatively mild. At present, no infected people have been confirmed among general contacts, and the related infected and risk individuals are receiving medical treatment and health observation, and the infectious disease has already been effectively treated.
