Reported about 1 year ago

A new, highly concerning strain of the mpox virus is rapidly spreading along the eastern border of the Democratic Republic of Congo, causing severe illness and even death. With evidence of sexual and skin-to-skin transmission, global health experts warn of potential cross-border and international spread.
