WHO declares end of international health emergency due to mpox, known as monkeypox. Since July 2022, there have been more than 87,000 cases and 140 deaths in 111 countries.

In the last three months almost 90% fewer cases have been reported than in the previous three. The Director-General has warned: "Although the alerts for mpox and covid-19 ended, the threat of new waves remains for both. The two viruses are still circulating and both are still killing"
