The rapidly spreading monkeypox outbreak can be stopped, an official from the World Health Organization said on Tuesday.

"We do at this moment still believe that this outbreak of monkeypox can be stopped with the right strategies in the right groups, but time is going by, and we all need to pull together to make that happen," Rosamund Lewis, WHO Technical Lead on Monkeypox, told reporters.

The outbreak represents a global health emergency, the WHO's highest level of alert, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Saturday.

Lewis said although the outbreak remains concentrated on groups of men who have sex with men in some countries, this is not the case in many others, adding that it is important to prevent stigma and discrimination.
