The World Health Organization on Wednesday said in the last few days, globally, cases jumped from a little more than 250 to 550. It presumes many cases are spreading undetected.
"The fact that this virus has appeared in Europe in a large number of cases, and increasing number of cases, is clearly a cause for concern, and it does suggest there may have been undetected transmission for a while," said Dr. Rosmund Lewis of the World Health Organization. Dr. Bruce Y. Lee with the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health says the CDC does have vaccines for people who may have been exposed. The virus was first found in humans in the 1970s.
"It's not the same thing as a coronavirus. This requires close contact to spread, so it's not as contagious," he said."The reason why specifically for monkeypox there haven't been recommendations for mask requirements because this virus doesn't tend to aerosolize.
