... The number of weekly[SUP]1[/SUP] reported new cases globally has increased by 18.7% in week 30 (25 Jul - 31 Jul) (n = 5,206 cases) compared to week 29 (18 Jul - 24 Jul) (n = 4,387 cases). The majority of cases reported in the past 4 weeks were notified from the European Region (59.7%) and the Region of the Americas (38.5%).
The 10 most affected countries globally are: United States of America (n = 5,175), Spain (n = 4,298), Germany (n = 2,677), The United Kingdom (n = 2,546), France (n = 1,955), Brazil (n = 1,369), Netherlands (n = 879), Canada (n = 803), Portugal (n = 633), and Italy (n = 479). Together, these countries account for 89.1% of the cases reported globally.
In the past 7 days, 20 countries reported an increase in the weekly number of cases, with the highest increase reported in United States of America. 15 countries have reported no new cases in the past 21 days.
In the past 7 days, 5 countries reported their first case. countries which reported their first case in the past 7 days are: Philippines (29 July), Montenegro (31 July), Uruguay (31 July), Liberia (01 August), Sudan (01 August).
... 3.3 Case profile (overall)
The following outputs reflect various demographic characteristics in confirmed monkeypox cases. Note that these data are only derived from detailed case data, and as a result, total numbers of cases and deaths may differ from those reported via aggregate case data where reporting is not fully aligned.
As shown below, and stated previously, the ongoing outbreak is largely developing in MSM (Men who have Sex with Men; defined as homosexual or bisexual males in reporting forms) networks. In the following analyses, we have re-coded men reported as bisexual as MSM. Note that reported sexual orientation does not necessarily reflect who the case has had recent sexual history with nor does it imply sexual activity. Generally, severity has been low, with few reported hospitalisations and deaths:

Generally, severity has been low, with few reported hospitalisations and deaths:
- 98.8% (16515/16719) of cases with available data are male, the median age is 37 years (IQR: 31 - 43).
- Males between 18-44 years old continue to be disproportionately affected by this outbreak as they account for 76.7% of cases.
- Of the 16,969 cases where age was available, there were 96 (0.6%) cases reported aged 0-17, out of which 25 (0.1%) were aged 0-4.
