Monkeypox cases have been found in European and American countries, giving health officials another cause to be concerned about as the Covid-19 outbreak enters its third year.

Health officials are monitoring the development of the cases. The disease now appears to be spreading among young men. However, health experts have stated that the danger to the general public is low.
