The United States government intends to declare a public health emergency concerning the monkeypox outbreak in the country, The Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing two anonymous officials from the Biden administration.
US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra (pictured) could make the announcement today after an afternoon briefing, according to the report.
The move could reportedly provide the government with more ways in which it will be able to fight the disease, especially with treatments and vaccines.
