The news comes after more than 30 experts wrote last week that "a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing nomenclature for monkeypox is urgently needed."“In the context of the current global outbreak, continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatising,” they wrote.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted last week that current cases do not always have flu-like symptoms and that rashes are sometimes localized to specific locations.According to Tedros, the WHO has received reports of 1,600 confirmed monkeypox cases and 1,500 suspected cases from 39 countries this year, 32 of which have recently been afflicted by the virus."However, WHO is investigating reports from Brazil of a monkeypox-related death," he added.
