The World Health Organization’s monkeypox emergency committee will reconvene the week of July 18 as cases surge globally, its director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said Wednesday.
It may meet sooner if warranted, he added.
"I continue to be concerned about the scale and spread of the virus," Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press briefing. "Testing remains a challenge, and it's highly probable a significant number of cases are not being picked up."
