“We will soon take new steps regarding the incomplete parts of the project we started on the 30-kilometer-deep safe zone that we have established along our southern border,” said Erdogan.

The World Health Organization (WHO) expects to see more and more cases of smallpox in countries that have not previously been associated with the disease. At the same time, no evidence is seen that the virus has mutated, writes Reuters.

In Germany, three cases have been found and the country’s authorities have flagged for restrictions to be introduced for those infected. In the US, they are now considering offering vaccines from the country’s national stocks to particularly vulnerable groups, writes CNN.
