The monkpox virus continues to be talked about around the world. “How many people died from monkey pox?” The answer to the question came from the World Health Organization (WHO). Making a statement about the monkeypox virus, which was followed with curiosity after the coronavirus epidemic, WHO reported that 3 people died worldwide due to the monkeypox virus.
In the written statement made by the organization, data on the spread of monkeypox in countries where it is epidemic and non-epidemic from January 1 to July 4 have been updated.
WHO: WORLDWIDE 3 PEOPLE DEATH FROM MONKELE BLOWERS
In the statement, it was noted that 6 thousand 27 cases sent to the center from 59 countries in 5 regions of WHO and 3 deaths due to monkeypox were confirmed.
As the increasing cases caused panic in many countries, WHO announced that it will update the monkeypox cases every 2 weeks from now on.
DIFFICULTY IN DETERMINING CASE BY TESTING
WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated at the press conference yesterday that there are still some difficulties in determining the cases of monkeypox with testing, so a significant number of cases could not be officially recorded.
Noting that the virus has also spread in Africa, Ghebreyesus emphasized that new cases have been detected across the continent in regions where the virus has never been effective. (AA)
