I read that Belgium has imposed a mandatory 21-day quarantine for anybody who has monkey pox. I didn’t see anything about a lockdown.
This is just one of a few articles I saw out there:
Notable in that article:
“There has been an outbreak in the country linked to a gay fetish festival called Darklands, where three attendees tested positive.”
More notable in this article, from the Darkslands festival site itself:
"Three cases of Monkeypox have been identified in Belgium, more specifically on Flemish territory. In recent weeks, cases have also been identified in Europe, in particular in the United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain, mainly in men who have sex with men (MSM), but not exclusively.Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that occurs in West Africa and does not spread easily among the population. For transmission, a person must have had close contact with an infected person, or contact with clothing or linens used by an infected person to transmit the infection. Monkeypox can therefore be transmitted through sexual contact. However, the risk to the general population is low.
Men who have sex with other men, or those who have multiple sexual partners, should be especially vigilant."
