Monkeypox is becoming a threat to the world
The World Health Organization has recently declared monkeypox disease a public health emergency, meaning there is a possibility of monkeypox spreading all over the world. Therefore, the whole world needs to be alert. This disease is currently wreaking havoc in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The worrying thing is that the new clade-B strain of ampox is highly virulent and kills 10 percent of the population. This disease has now spread from Congo to Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda. This is the reason why WHO has expressed concern that this disease can spread to other countries as well.
Homosexual men are at a higher risk of monkeypox. Apart from this, people who have relationships with many people are also getting this disease. However, this disease can also occur by being in close contact with people suffering from this disease. Therefore, people should be cautious.
