On Saturday, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency due to the rapid spread of monkeys.
Reports indicate that more than 16,000 cases of the disease have been reported in 75 countries. According to the World Health Organization, five deaths have been attributed to the exotic disease.
According to the World Health Organization, the United States has 2,400 cases of monkeypox.
“What’s different now is that we are seeing cases in other countries that don’t normally have monkeypox,” according to the World Health Organization website. “But in reality, we’ve never seen an explosion like this before.”
Monkeypox causes a rash that can be uncomfortable, itchy, and painful. It is endemic to Africa, and US officials fear it will become more common there. Vaccines and treatments for monkeypox exist, but they are not yet widely available or readily available.
“We have an epidemic that has spread rapidly around the world through new modes of transmission that we know very little about,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement.
“Right now it’s an epidemic that focuses on men who have sex with men, especially those who have multiple sexual partners,” he added. “This means this is an epidemic that can be stopped with the right strategies in the right groups.”
