WHO declares Monkeypox a World Health Emergency, with major cases in DR Congo and Canada, and Texas seen as low-risk.
Monkeypox, declared a "World Health Emergency" by the WHO, is not a significant threat in Texas. Major cases are in DR Congo, with some in Canada. The virus, transmitted by animal bites or contact with fluids, causes fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue. Most Americans have had smallpox shots, showing promise in preventing Monkeypox. Avoiding contact with infected people and animals reduces risk.
