A new name for monkeypox to be announced soon- WHO declares

Monkeypox is creating havoc and spreading these days. WHO is constantly monitoring the spread of monkeypox worldwide. Let us check the new update why is the monkey pox name being changed?

A new name for Monkeypox may be announced soon. Monkeypox is a virus that has spread very rapidly in some countries, especially at a time when the world is moving towards getting relief from Corona. The World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this week that it was working with its colleagues and experts around the world to change the name of the virus. 

Why are you trying to change the name of Monkeypox?

One possible reason behind the name change could be discrimination, which has been associated with infections since the month of May. The virus was initially limited to most African countries but has now spread to parts of Europe and America. However, the WHO is trying to find out how this disease spread.
