The rapid spread of mpox in Africa prompts the ECDC to recommend vigilance in the EU, urging advice for travelers from affected regions.
Pamela Rendi-Wagner stated that vigilance is necessary due to the mpox outbreak in Africa, highlighting a new variant and its potential risk in the EU.
The first EU infection of the new variant was reported in Sweden from a traveler returning from Africa, emphasizing the importance of monitoring such cases.
Travelers are advised to seek medical help if showing symptoms, as the ECDC expects increased cases but does not anticipate sustained transmission in Europe.
