The whole world is concerned about the growing cases of monkeypox with more than 200 suspected cases of the disease reported by 20 countries around the world; The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised concerns. Sylvie Brian, the head of the WHO’s Preparations and Prevention for Epidemics and Pandemics, said she did not know if they were just seeing the tip of the iceberg about the “unusual” spread of the monkeypox virus.
However, the WHO said the disease could be controlled if the steps were taken immediately. He also advised countries not to impose travel restrictions to combat the spread of monkeypox. Infections are more common in America and Europe, although cases of monkeypox have also been reported in the Middle East.
