Mpox Is Still a Health Emergency, WHO Says
(Reuters) -The mpox outbreak is still a public health emergency, the World Health Organization said on Monday, with the health body's director-general issuing a revised set of temporary recommendations.
The WHO first declared the emergency in August last year, when an outbreak of a new form of mpox spread from the badly-hit Democratic Republic of Congo to neighbouring countries.
A public health emergency of international concern is WHO's highest form of alert.
