In England, there was a 3-fold increase in 3 days in the cases of monkeypox virus, which broke out again after a long break. The disease, which spread in 22 countries, also mobilized the United States. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told a press conference that 9 separate cases of monkeypox have been identified in 7 states. He explained that the cases were identified by local laboratories and local health authorities were taking action to treat and prevent their spread.
Walensky urged the public to be sensitive to the epidemic. It was announced that some of the cases were seen in people who had traveled to the region where there was a monkeypox epidemic. It found that the 7 states where cases were observed in the US were California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
Raj Panjabi, senior White House director for global health security and biological defense, said in a news conference that a monkeypox epidemic of this magnitude and scale had never been seen before.
