  The mpox outbreak is still a public health emergency, the World Health Organization said on Monday, with the health body's director-general issuing a revised set of temporary recommendations. The WHO first declared the emergency in August last year, when an outbreak of a new form of mpox spread from the badly-hit Democratic Republic of Congo to neighbouring countries. A public emergency of international concern is WHO's highest form of alert.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, continues to be a global health emergency, as announced by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Despite a significant decrease in cases, with a 90% drop reported since the peak in August 2022, the WHO emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and action to prevent further spread. The decision to maintain the emergency status was made after the 15th meeting of the WHO's emergency committee on mpox, highlighting ongoing concerns despite the reduced number of cases.
