The ECDC has issued an extremely worrying warning that covers all of Europe at the moment, with the hundreds of millions of Europeans living on the continent being put on alert due to the fact that monkeypox is still spreading in Europe at the moment, and it appears that it still does it quite quickly, unfortunately.
ECDC reports on August 25 that 17.202 were reported from 29 countries of the European Union, plus another 35 from another 4 countries outside the EU, and on September 1, it reports 22.363 cases of monkeypox registered in 43 countries in the European region, a huge difference that shows us that the virus is still spreading rapidly on the continent.
ECDC reports that the vast majority of cases of monkeypox are registered in the most important countries in the European Union, those from outside having a total of only a few hundred cases, so there are large increases in new cases in countries such as Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands , Portugal, Italy, Belgium, and even Switzerland with several hundred cases.
ECDC also registers the cases in Great Britain, so the difference in cases from the last week is somewhere around over 3.000 new cases, but even so, we are talking about a still large increase, which generates concern, and which looks like monkey pox remains a very serious problem for the European continent in the future, unfortunately.
🔴 22,363 cases of #monkeypox from 43 countries and areas throughout the European Region have been identified up to 30 August 2022.
