Monkeypox circulated for some time before being detected

The World Health Organization reported that there are indications that monkeypox circulated in countries where it is not endemic for some time before being detected and that it spread through situations that amplified its spread. The WHO said in countries where the disease is not endemic, a single case is considered an outbreak, and also reported that no relationship has been found between reported cases and travel to areas where the disease is normally present. Although this disease is not exclusive to homosexuals, outbreaks have been detected mainly in men who have sex with other men. According to the World Health Organization, countries must provide reliable information to those who were exposed and the measures that must be taken to stop the risk of contagion. The international body said that frontline health workers should be given the necessary tools, information should also be given to risk groups. We recommend you read: So far 360 positive cases of monkeypox have been detected in the world: The United Kingdom is the European country with the most confirmed cases of monkeypox, with 106 positive people.
