    New Delhi: The European Union's disease agency that the number
    of monkeypox cases has reached 219 outside of countries where
    the virus usually circulates. The World Health Organisation has
    warned of more cases in coming days.
    Here are 10 things we know about the Monkeypox outbreak:
    Monkeypox, which is a less severe disease than its cousin
    smallpox, is an endemic in 11 countries in West and Central
    Africa.
    The virus was discovered in 1958 in monkeys kept for research.
    The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970.
    The World Health Organization has cautioned that the 200
    monkeypox cases found in recent weeks outside of countries where
    it is an endemic could be just the beginning. "We know that we
    will have more cases in the coming days," Sylvie Briand, WHO's
    epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention chief,
    acknowledged in a briefing to countries on the "unusual" spread
    of the virus.
    Health agencies have said that most of the cases were detected
    in gay men.
    The UK reported its first monkeypox case in early May. Since
    then, the virus has spread rapidly in the country with the
    infection count now at 90.
    Spain has reported 98 confirmed cases of monkeypox so far.
    Portugal has meanwhile registered 74 confirmed cases, health
    authorities said Friday, adding that all the occurrences are in
    men, mainly aged below 40.
    Fever, muscle ache, lesions, and chills are the common symptoms
    of monkeypox in humans
    The virus has a fatality ratio of three to six percent. Most
    people recover within three to four weeks.
    There's currently no specific treatment for monkeypox. Patients
    will usually need to stay in a specialist hospital so the
    infection doesn't spread and general symptoms can be treated.
