The WHO said that 780 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in 27 non-endemic countries of the world. Non-endemic are those countries where this disease has come from outside. The UN's global health body has said that since May 29, there has been a more than 203 percent increase in cases of monkeypox in non-endemic countries.

The WHO said that between May 13 and June 2, the total cases of monkeypox in these countries increased from 257 to 780. In this way, there has been an increase of 523 in them. However, there is no report of any death due to monkeypox in these countries so far.

Major health organizations around the world, including the World Health Organization (WHO), have expressed concern about the increasing cases of monkeypox.
