WHO: Monkeypox cannot be compared to corona | News in brief

Monkeypox is not a new corona, summarized the European director of the World Health Organization WHO Hans Kluge at a press conference on Tuesday.

– We can and must respond to monkeypox together, Kluge said.

Monkey pox is a disease transmitted by a virus that has spread especially in Central Africa.

In Europe, a milder variant of the disease is found in about a hundred cases a month, Kluge said.

Monkeypox is not usually caught in short encounters in everyday life, but requires intimate contact to spread.
