More from 6.000 cases of monkeypox have now been reported from 58 countries during the current outbreak, according to the World Health Organization.
WHO Director-General General Tedros Adanom Gebrejesus said in an online press conference from Geneva that the UN agency will reconvene a meeting of the committee recommending that the outbreak be declared a global health emergency, the WHO's highest level of alert, in the week beginning July 18 or earlier.
At its previous meeting on June 27, the committee decided that the outbreak, with cases increasing both in African countries where it usually spreads and globally, did not yet constitute a health emergency.
