Mpox is not the new COVID, says WHO official; Here's what you need to know about different monkey pox strains

A WHO official stated that mpox, irrespective of the strain, is manageable and not comparable to COVID-19. Hans Kluge urged collaborative efforts to control and eliminate mpox globally, citing the new clade 1b strain's easier transmission. Europe records about 100 new cases of the less severe clade 2 strain monthly.
