“We do not recommend any travel bans or restrictions,” said Sylvie Briand, Director of Global Preparedness for Highly Concerned Infections at WHO.

Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, said that there are risks of importing monkeypox to Russia, but they are small.

She also noted that today there is no need to vaccinate all Russians against this infection.
