More than 100 Confirmed or Suspected Cases of Monkeypox

As of Saturday, 92 confirmed cases and 28 suspected cases of monkeypox were under investigation in 12 countries, the World Health Organization said in a news release. Though experts say monkeypox is not as contagious as COVID-19, President Biden said everyone should be concerned about the spread of monkeypox -- even as scientists work to learn more about the recent spread. Initial monkeypox symptoms are typically flu-like, such as fever, chills, exhaustion, headache and muscle weakness. After that, a widespread rash typically appears on the face and body -- including inside the mouth, on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. See CDC’s Health Alert Network Advisory here.
