Monkeypox Outbreak In Canada Shows Encouraging Signs Says Who Chief National

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the WHO, told reporters during a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland, that while several countries in the Americas are seeing an increase in infections, Canada appears to be an outlier. “In the Americas, which accounts for more than half of the reported cases, several countries continue to see increasing numbers of infections, although it is encouraging to see a steady downward trend in Canada,” he said. “Some European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, are also seeing a clear slowdown in monkeypox outbreaks, demonstrating the effectiveness of public health interventions and community involvement to monitor infections and prevent transmission.”

It usually requires skin-to-skin or skin-to-mouth contact with the lesions of an infected patient to spread.
