Although cases of monkeypox are decreasing, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services extended the official public health emergency on Wednesday, as there s still a strong presence of the virus in the country.
The monkeypox virus is unlikely to be eliminated from the U.S. in the near future and could spread indefinitely at a low level, according to a new technical brief from the CDC.
The monkeypox virus can lead to neurologic complications such as brain inflammation, according to a new report published by the CDC’s Monkeypox Emergency Response Team.
