The first official case with the line of monkeys has been confirmed in Greece.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Sunday confirmed 780 cases of monkey pox in 27 countries around the world.
Recent figures do not count infections in African countries where the virus is considered endemic.
However, officials warned that the risk to public health “could become high if the virus seizes the opportunity to settle in non-endemic countries as a widespread human pathogen.”
Monkey pox is considered a less serious disease compared to linen, which disappeared in 1980.
The pathogen is transmitted from one person to another through close physical contact.
Symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks, but can occasionally lead to complications and death in very rare cases.
No one has died among the 780 reported cases.
However, so far this year, 66 people have died in five African countries from causes related to the monkey line.
Recall that in Kosovo so far there are only suspicions of a case of smallpox of monkeys, a case that has been sent for testing abroad.
