Health authorities in Spain's Madrid region said they detected 11 confirmed new cases of monkeypox on Tuesday (May 24), bringing the total cases in Spain to 48, practically all in the capital city.
In neighboring Portugal, which along with Spain has been one of the main hotspots of the recent outbreak of the viral disease outside its endemic areas in Africa, health authorities added two confirmed cases, putting the total at 39.
The World Health Organization on Tuesday said the outbreak can be contained as more governments said they would launch limited vaccinations to combat rising infections.
