Dr. Hans Kluge, the World Health Organization's Europe regional director, has stated that Mpox should not be considered the new Covid. He emphasized that health authorities are equipped to manage its spread effectively. Despite concerns about a new variant, Clade Ib, identified in Sweden and linked to an outbreak in Africa, Kluge assured that decisive actions, including the distribution of vaccines to high-risk areas, could prevent widespread panic and further neglect. His remarks come amid a global alert over Mpox, underscoring the need for coordinated efforts to address the virus without causing unnecessary alarm.
