WHO ISSUES HIGHEST ALERT ON OUTBREAK OF MONKEYPOX

  • 24/07/2022

The World Health Organization has designated the monkeypox outbreak a worldwide health emergency.

The categorization, which comes after a global spike in infections, is the highest alert the WHO can issue.

It was announced at the conclusion of the WHO's emergency committee on the virus' second meeting.

According to WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, more than 16,000 cases have currently been reported from 75 different countries.

He stated that the outbreak has already resulted in five deaths.

Only two such comparable medical crises exist today: the coronavirus epidemic and the ongoing fight to eradicate polio.
