The World Health Organization has decided not to designate monkeypox as an international public health emergency.
In a statement, the World Health Organization said that the emergency committee held an emergency committee meeting on the 23rd to discuss the designation of a state of emergency, but at this time it was decided not to designate it.
The international public health emergency is the highest level of warning issued by the World Health Organization regarding an epidemic, and is currently only applicable to COVID-19, which was issued at the end of January last year.
