Paragraph 2
Mpox is
transmitted through close skin-to-skin
with infected people or their
clothes or bedsheets. It can also spread through close
to someone who sneezes or coughs. People can also catch it by talking or breathing too close to an
person. The WHO says mpox is less contagious than Covid-19, which was an
virus. Common symptoms of mpox include rash, fever, and muscle
. The rash develops into hundreds of pus-filled
, which may be itchy or painful. There are insufficient
of the mpox vaccine in Africa. Most supplies are stockpiled in the West as
of their own emergency preparedness.
