"Thailand has confirmed Asia's first known case of a more contagious and deadlier version of the mpox virus, with a 66-year-old European patient who traveled from Africa."
"The World Health Organization declared a global public health emergency over the Clade 1b strain, which can be transmitted through routine contact and has a fatality rate of 3.6 percent."
"Thongchai Keeratihattayakorn stated that they were monitoring 43 asymptomatic individuals who were close contacts of the patient for 21 days."
"While the WHO has raised alarm over Clade 1b, it emphasized that the outbreak is not another COVID-19, as much is already known about controlling the virus."
