The World Health Organisation (WHO) chief cautioned on Friday that the monkeypox cases in the region have tripled in the previous two weeks and urged nations to do more to ensure the previously rare disease does not become entrenched on the continent.
Multiple cases of the monkeypox virus have been detected in Belgium. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says it sees 'no cause for alarm', though it does recommend certain measures in the face of the virus' unusual spread.
Belgium has become the first nation to create a 21-day quarantine mandatory for monkeypox infected people after four cases were noticed in the previous week.
