On Sunday, US President Joe Biden said there were concerns about the new outbreak. This is because the spread of infection will lead to “consequences,” according to the president.
“They haven’t updated me on the level of exposure yet, but it’s something everyone has to worry about,” he said.
Biden also said work is underway to identify a vaccine that could be effective against monkeypox.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified about 80 cases of monkeypox worldwide, and about 50 suspected cases in the ongoing outbreak.
On Monday, the European Union’s infection control authority ECDC will publish its monkeypox risk assessment report.
