Monkeypox is at this point not a worldwide general wellbeing crisis, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has said, nearly 12 months after the danger was raised.
The UN agency also added that the highest level of caution has ended, but the virus is still present and there may be more waves and breakouts,
The Director General, WHO, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who made the announcement, Thursday, barely a week after its declared COVID-19 emergency over, urged nations to “remain vigilant”.
He said: “More than 87,000 cases and 140 deaths have been reported from 111 countries during the global outbreak.
“But almost 90% fewer cases were recorded over the last three months compared with the previous three-month period, meaning the highest level of alert is no longer required,” Tedros said.
