The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an international emergency due to the monkeypox outbreak, which has affected countries including Spain, the UK, and Germany, with over 4,000 confirmed cases in Spain alone. Most cases are concentrated in Madrid, Catalonia, and Andalusia. While the disease is zoonotic and can be spread through contact with affected fluids or contaminated materials, health authorities emphasize that the risk of a new pandemic is low. The outbreak marks the first transmission chain occurring outside endemic regions, prompting investigations into the virus’s unusual geographic spread.
