The World Health Organization (WHO) has decided to keep the mpox alert at its highest level because the number of cases is still increasing and spreading to more countries. They made this decision after seeing how many countries are affected and the challenges in controlling the outbreak. Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a virus that spreads from animals to humans and can also pass between people through close contact. It causes fever, muscle aches, and large bumps on the skin, and it can even be deadly. The outbreak started in the Democratic Republic of Congo and is spreading to nearby countries like Burundi and Nigeria. The WHO is working with other countries to stop it from spreading even more.
