The World Health Organization (WHO) reports over 1,000 monkeypox cases in countries not part of Africa.
Italy: Several cases confirmed
There is a real risk of monkeypox taking hold in these countries where the virus is not endemic, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday. But this is preventable, he said. Twenty-nine countries have reported cases in the current virus outbreak, which began in May, he said.
Monkeypox occurrence
Monkeypox occurs mainly in West and Central Africa and rarely spreads to other countries, making the current development unusual. Symptoms include fever, headache, and skin rashes that usually begin on the face and spread to the rest of the body. The disease is typically mild.
