World Health Network (WHN) has already announced Monkeypox as a pandemic. WHN said efforts for multiple countries are essential to prevent widespread harm like “COVID-19.”
Yaneer Bar-Yam, the WHN Co-founder said: “There is no justification to wait for the monkeypox pandemic to grow further. The best time to act is now. By taking immediate action, we can control the outbreak with the least effort, and prevent consequences from becoming worse.”
