Those officials told local media that those who are confirmed to have monkeypox should self-isolate for 21 days.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organization on May 19 confirmed it was stepping up efforts to understand and combat the rare virus.<\/p>\n<p>Health officials in the United Kingdom and other countries, meanwhile, have <a href=\"https:\/\/m.theepochtimes.com\/experts-monkeypox-pandemic-in-europe-and-north-america-may-have-a-new-mode-of-transmission_4482222.html\">suggested<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/m.theepochtimes.com\/biden-sounds-alarm-on-monkeypox-as-cdc-alerts-american-doctors_4482481.html\">homosexual males<\/a> are at a greater risk of contracting and spreading monkeypox. Reports have said that outbreaks of the virus have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/lifestyle\/health\/health-problems\/monkeypox-cases-linked-to-adult-sauna-fetish-festival\/news-story\/cebc3d3f423ac3afdbfdd720e5a4638d\">been linked to<\/a> an adult sauna in Madrid, Spain, as well as a \u201clarge-scale fetish festival\u201d in Antwerp, Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just don\u2019t think it rises to the level of the kind of concern that existed with COVID-19, and the smallpox vaccine works for it. But, I think people should be careful,\u201d Biden said Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Although monkeypox is related to smallpox, officials have said it is far less deadly. Smallpox pandemics have killed perhaps tens of millions of people throughout human history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have had this monkeypox in large numbers in the past. We have vaccines to take care of it,\u201d Biden also said. It\u2019s not clear what he meant with the \u201clarge numbers\u201d comment as monkeypox is considered a rare virus.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s statements Monday come in contrast to remarks he made a day earlier, when he told reporters that people should be worried about the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\" data-uri=\"archive.cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/paragraph_B056413F-1564-97E1-9241-EFCADBB6CC95@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\">\u201cThey haven\u2019t told me the level of exposure yet, but it is something that everybody should be concerned about,\u201d he said Sunday.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re working on it hard to figure out what we do and what vaccine, if any, might be available for it.
