WHO emergency meeting on monkeypox Over 100 cases in Europe The epidemic "is the largest" recorded to date on the continent

The mysterious cases of monkeypox in Europe are the subject of an emergency meeting to be held on Friday by the World Health Organization, Reuters reports, citing unnamed sources.

Meanwhile, cases in European countries have topped 100 in an outbreak that German experts say is the largest ever recorded on the continent.

Friday's meeting concerns the Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Infectious Risks with Pandemic and Epidemic Potential (STAG-IH), which advises the WHO on potential threats to global health.

Experts, however, believe that monkeypox is unlikely to lead to a pandemic since it is not as easily transmitted as coronavirus.
