World Health Organization confirms 92 cases of monkeypox with outbreaks in 12 countries

The WHO said the recent monkeypox outbreaks are unusual because they are occurring in countries where the virus is not endemic.

More cases will likely be reported in the coming days as surveillance expands, the global health agency said.

Monkeypox is spread through close contact. It usually begins with flu-like symptoms and then progresses to body rashes.

It can result in death for 1 in 10 people who contract the disease based on observations in Africa, according to the CDC.
