&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;In 2024, a new variant, known as clade Ib, is also spreading, and it appears to be more contagious through routine close contact, particularly among children. Since the beginning of the year until 15 August 2024, the Congo has recorded more than 15,600 potential cases and 548 deaths from Mpox.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;This has led the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.who.int/news/item/14-08-2024-who-director-general-declares-mpox-outbreak-a-public-health-emergency-of-international-concern&quot;&gt;World Health Organization (WHO) to declare an emergency of international concern&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.who.int/news/item/14-08-2024-who-director-general-declares-mpox-outbreak-a-public-health-emergency-of-international-concern&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; With concerns rising, many people wonder if Mpox could become another pandemic like COVID-19.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;While Mpox and COVID-19 viruses share some similarities, such as their animal origins, they also have key differences. Understanding these differences can help us better prepare for and respond to these health threats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Are the Viruses Like?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;COVID-19 is caused by a tiny, single-stranded RNA virus called SARS-CoV-2. This virus is covered with spike proteins that help it enter human cells, making it very contagious. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Mpox, on the other hand, is caused by a much larger DNA virus called MPV (. This brick-shaped virus uses multiple proteins to invade human cells. Because of its different structure, Mpox mutates less frequently than COVID-19, although it has picked up some mutations recently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Do They Spread?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;One of the main reasons COVID-19 spreads so quickly is that it travels through the air in tiny droplets when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. This makes it easy for the virus to spread, even from people who don&amp;rsquo;t feel sick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Mpox spreads differently. It mainly spreads through contact with bodily fluids, skin lesions, or scabs from an infected person. While it can be passed on through respiratory droplets, this usually requires close, prolonged contact. This means pox is less likely to spread quickly in everyday situations, but it can still be a concern in close-contact environments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Are the Symptoms?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;COVID-19 symptoms can vary widely, from mild cold-like symptoms to severe respiratory problems that can be life-threatening. Some people even experience &amp;ldquo;long COVID,&amp;rdquo; where symptoms last for months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Mpox symptoms typically include fever, headache, and muscle aches, followed by a painful and itchy rash that often appears on the face, hands, feet, and genitals. While pox can be severe, it generally has a lower death rate than COVID-19, with fewer than 20 confirmed deaths globally since early 2022.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
