However, the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva warns against false composure, because there are neither tests nor enough vaccines available, especially in Africa.
That could become a threat to the whole world: “In three years we could have a virus variant that is much less easy to contain – that’s a real risk,” said WHO monkeypox expert Rosamund Lewis. Doctors and clinics must continue to consider monkeypox as a diagnosis when people come in with a fever or rash, she said.
Clinics specializing in HIV and STDs should routinely test for monkeypox. Above all, rapid tests and more vaccines would have to be developed in order to discover and contain new outbreaks worldwide as quickly as possible. By the beginning of January, the WHO had registered almost 84,000 confirmed cases and 75 deaths worldwide.
