   The World Health Organization declared the outbreak of monkeypox   
   to be a public health emergency of international concern.   
      
   "The global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health   
   emergency of international concern," WHO Director-General Dr.   
   Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a briefing in Geneva   
   Saturday.   
      
   At the virtual press conference, Ghebreyesus also said that the   
   outbreak has spread around the world "rapidly" and that   
   officials understand "too little" about the disease.   
      
   Ghebreyesus also outlined a set of recommendations for countries   
   that have not yet reported a case of monkeypox or have not   
   reported a case for 21 days; those with recently imported cases   
   of monkeypox that are experiencing human-to-human transmission;   
   those with transmission of monkeypox between animals and humans;   
   and those with manufacturing capacities for diagnostics,   
   vaccines and therapeutics.   
      
   This is the seventh event declared a PHEIC by the global health   
   agency since 2007.   
      
   The other six include the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009; the   
   Ebola outbreak in West Africa from 2013 to 2015; the Ebola   
   outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 2018 to   
   2020; the Zika outbreak in 2016; the ongoing spread of   
   poliovirus that started in 2014; and the ongoing COVID-19   
   pandemic, according to the National Library of Medicine.   
      
   More than 14,000 monkeypox cases have now been detected across   
   the globe in more than 70 countries and territories, according   
   to the WHO. Thus far, five deaths have been reported, all of   
   which have occurred in Africa.   
      
   In the United States, more than 2,300 cases are confirmed or   
   suspected in states and the District of Columbia, according to   
   the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In New York, a   
   total of 679 cases of monkeypox have now been confirmed, with   
   the vast majority of them — 94% — detected in New York City,   
   state officials said on Wednesday.   
      
   "I would like you to all understand that we anticipate an   
   increase in cases in the coming weeks,” CDC Director Dr.   
   Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing last week, noting   
   that with increased testing, an improved reporting system for   
   states, and the continued spread of disease, more cases will be   
   identified. “We know monkeypox symptoms usually start within   
   three weeks of exposure to the virus, so we anticipate we may   
   see an increase in cases throughout the month of July and into   
   August.”   
      
   Prior to the outbreak, most cases occurred in countries where   
   the virus is endemic -- typically central and western Africa.   
      
   Monkeypox is generally a mild illness with the most common   
   symptoms being fever, headache, fatigue and muscle aches.   
   Patients can develop a rash and lesions that often begin on the   
   face before spreading to the rest of the body.   
      
   People are typically infected by animals through a bite or a   
   scratch or through preparation and consumption of contaminated   
   bush meat.   
      
   However, in the current outbreak, most of the spread has come   
   from coming into contact with infected people's lesions or   
   bodily fluids, making it less transmissible than other viruses   
   such as COVID-19.   
      
   Many cases have been reported among men who identify as gay,   
   bisexual or men who have sex with men, but there is currently no   
   evidence monkeypox is a sexually transmitted infection -- and   
   experts have emphasized anyone can be infected.   
      
   In an effort to combat the spread of the disease, health   
   officials are working to ramp up distribution of monkeypox   
   vaccines.   
      
   Last week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services   
   (HHS) announced that it has ordered another 2.5 million doses of   
   the JYNNEOS monkeypox vaccine, amidst increased demand for the   
   shots. The department’s latest order is in addition to its July   
   1 order of 2.5 million doses, which will begin arriving over the   
   next year. The federal government expects to have an available   
   supply of 7 million doses by mid-2023.
