The statement was entrusted to the UN agency’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who in a note released after a meeting of experts said that monkeypox it is a health threat whose evolution is worrying, but which has not yet reached the stage of a global health emergency. “For the time being, the event does not constitute an international public health emergency, which is the highest level of alert that WHO can issue,” said Tedros.
