The World Health Organization has urged caution for Latin America, citing a lack of awareness and few public health measures to control the spread of the virus.
The World Health Organization has announced that while global monkeypox cases fell by a fifth last week, the Americas has seen"intense transmission" in regions where there is a lack of education about the spread of the virus.
The WHO is focused especially on Latin America, where awareness and health measures are still lacking on monkeypox and controlling its spread. Since early May, as AFP reported, there has been a rare surge in the spread of the virus outside of African countries where it has been endemic. On July 24, after the WHO announced its highest emergency level regarding the virus, it was officially classified as an international health emergency.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the U.S. has seen 16,926 confirmed monkeypox/orthopoxvirus cases as of Aug. 25.
