“Now we have developed a test system for the laboratory diagnosis of monkeypox,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Gorbunov said that the diagnostic results will be known within a few hours after the receipt of the biomaterial.

“I am sure that this test system will not find wide application.

Because the disease is not characterized by a wide distribution and it is not expected that the diseased will appear in Belarus in the near future,” he concluded.

Earlier it became known that the regions of Russia received test systems for the detection of monkeypox virus, manufactured by the Vector Center of Rospotrebnadzor.

Rospotrebnadzor also noted that no cases of monkeypox have been detected in Russia.
