Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist and COVID-19 technical lead at the World Health Organization (WHO), said Monday during a Q&A on monkeypox that the patterns of transmission of the virus are “not typical.”

However, she explained that the virus is “containable,” especially in Europe and North America, which have seen less of the disease.

To date, WHO has recorded more than 90 cases of monkeypox in a dozen countries including Britain, Spain, France, Switzerland, the U.S. and Australia and Canada.

Monkeypox typically causes fever, chills, rash and lesions on the face or genitals. It can be spread through close contact with an infected person or their clothing or bedsheets.
