Summer festivals could become monkeypox super-spreader events, WHO warns
The Metro says Festivals up and down Europe could speed up the spread of monkeypox, health experts have warned.
World Health Organisation (WHO) officials are scrambling to raise awareness of the outbreak ahead of the summer as many cases have been linked to ‘large events or parties’.
The agency says Europe is at the ‘epicentre’ of the ‘largest and most geographically widespread monkeypox outbreak ever reported’ outside western and central Africa.
The warning to partygoers comes as the number of cases in the UK has risen to 190 as officials confirmed 11 new infections in England.
