The US government has declared an outbreak monkey pox emergency situation in the field of health care.
About this writes BBC.
The decision should speed up the distribution of vaccines, treatment and facilitate access to federal resources to contain the virus.
The decision was taken after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the highest level of danger due to a sharp increase in the number of cases in the world.
A quarter of the cases were found in New York state, which last week declared a state of emergency due to the disease.
California and Illinois declared states of emergency earlier this week.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 26,000 cases have been confirmed worldwide this year.
Officials in the U.S. and other countries are recommending people at highest risk of infection — including gay and bisexual men and some health care workers — get vaccinated.
We will remind the first death from monkeypox was recorded in Europe.
