A WHO expert says she doesn’t expect a Monkeypox pandemic, but there are still many unknowns about the disease, including how exactly it spreads
Monkeypox Won't Turn Into a Pandemic, the WHO Says, but There Are Many Unknowns
In a public session on Monday, WHO’s Dr. Rosamund Lewis said it was critical to emphasize that the vast majority of cases being seen in dozens of countries globally are in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men, so that scientists can further study the issue. She urged those at risk to be careful.
“At the moment, we are not concerned about a global pandemic,” she said. “We are concerned that individuals may acquire this infection through high-risk exposure if they don’t have the information they need to protect themselves.” Monkeypox is known to spread when there is close physical contact with an infected person, their clothing or bedsheets.
