The WHO has decided to maintain the maximum health alert on monkeypox despite a notable drop in cases in the most affected countries in Europe and America, according to a press release from the organization published on Tuesday.
The WHO Emergency Committee has said that despite progress in controlling outbreaks of the viral disease, there are still "reasons for concern", in particular because of new infections in some countries, but also the lack of resources in poor countries or the risk of stigmatizing populations at risk, underlines the press release from the group of experts who met on 20 October.
