The World Health Organisation says they will reconvene their monkeypox committee to decide on if it should be considered a 'global health emergency'.
The UN health agency are now aware of 9,200 cases in 63 countries in the last update issued on Tuesday, with the UK recording 1,735 cases between May 6 and July 11 this year.
UK Health Security Agency figures show that the majority were Londoners, with 1,229 reported in the capital.
This WHO meeting will be the second for the emergency committee, with experts set to decide on if monkeypox cases constitutes a public health emergency which should be of 'international concern'.
A PHEIC (Public Health Emergency of International Concern) is the highest formal declaration alarm the WHO can raise for the spread of a disease like monkeypox.
The last committee meeting found that the situation had not yet met the threshold - but with case numbers rising, the health agency warns of their concerns.
The UN health agency said in a statement: 'The emergency committee will provide its views to the WHO director general on whether the event constitutes a PHEIC.
'If so, it will propose temporary recommendations on how to better prevent and reduce the spread of the disease and manage the global public health response.'

'We expect cases to continue to rise further in the coming days and weeks. If you are attending large events over the summer or having sex with new partners, be alert to any monkeypox symptoms so you can get tested rapidly and help avoid passing the infection on.
'Currently the majority of cases have been in men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with men. However, anyone who has had close contact with an individual with symptoms is also at increased risk.

Monkeypox infections in New York City are overwhelmingly being found in men - with more than half of cases being detected among lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer people as well.
Officials in the Big Apple revealed the first snapshot of the demographics of people that have been infected.
Of the 336 cases in the city - the most of any singular locality in America - 321 are among men, with no confirmed cases among women. The remaining five percent of cases are split between transgender persons and cases where the gender is unknown.
The virus has famously erupted among communities of gay and bisexual men across the world in recent months after first being detected in Europe, and this data confirms that the community is being hammered by the virus in New York as well.
In total, over 11,000 cases have been detected in nations where the virus is not endemic as part of this outbreak - including 1,470 in the U.S.
According to data from NYC Health, every single person with a confirmed infection in the city is between the ages of 20 and 69, with a media age of 35. ...
define “soar” peasants.

Let's get busy looking BUSY!!!
DO SOMETHING - WHATEVER!!!!
/Sarcasm
The reference eludes me.
WHO will do that just before the November elections to facilitate cheating by the Dems.
Trouble is, red states and purple states will totally ignore this fake “global health emergency”.
So sorry WHO, no can do.
Yep. Check keyword monkeypox. One article says 98% of UK cases are men.
I mean who is going to have gay sex at the polls for midterm? Granted someone is going to get screwed and it will probably be us.
I’m not askin’ ya WHO’s on second . . .
Marburg is a hemorrhagic fever, considered extremely dangerous but not easily transmissible.... but if tampered with could be made easily transmissible. :-(
I know... but this whole event and the numbers still seem to be tracking that “scenario” that was found.
But to continue tracking that, this thing has to jump to normal people or they just won’t get the numbers.
I know it’s a little CS. But after the last 2.5 yrs....
oops,
CT - Conspiracy Theory.
Oh, OK. Thanks. Yes, something like that could be worth a little worry.
grab a grocery cart from the parking lot
UV rays kill most virus in less than 10 seconds
Oh no! Not the “experts!”
This is another ghey disease. Isolate them for God’s sake instead of isolating the planet. Done deal. They should have done this with AIDs....but rights were infringed.
I’m still stumped that 0 women have contracted it and 95% of those who caught it were men. Seems like 100% of those who caught it were men, if 0 women have.
Totalitarianism by way of fear of disease.
Yes, it can be spread by toilet seats not just having sex with gay men.
