The transmission requires prolonged close contact with an infected case and is generally through the sexual route, direct contact with body\/lesion fluid, or contaminated clothing\/linen of an infected person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">WHO had earlier declared Monkeypox as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in July 2022 and subsequently revoked the same in May 2023. Globally since 2022, WHO has reported 99,176 cases and 208 deaths due to Monkeypox from 116 countries. Since the 2022 declaration by WHO, a total of 30 cases were detected in India with the last case in March 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Joint Monitoring Group Meeting under the Chairmanship of the Director General of Health Services consisting of experts from relevant fields was held on 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0August 2024 to review the situation.
