WHO/Europe will hold an online press briefing on the current monkeypox outbreak and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, and technical experts.
Speakers will focus on urgent strategies and tools available to control and eliminate monkeypox and what to expect regarding the COVID-19 pandemic – as case numbers escalate in many countries – in the autumn and winter months.
