Switzerland is ready to detect cases of monkeypox
Suspicions and confirmations of the disease are increasingly emerging outside Africa. There are concerns about human-to-human transmission.
It takes a lot of time and data to have sufficient information on monkeypox. Its recent upsurge could be explained by a change in human behavior with a proximity that promotes transmission, explains Pauline Vetter, head of clinic at the Infectious Diseases Department at HUG.

There is an air of deja vu this Friday at the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG). Journalists are soliciting numbers of medical personnel who are beginning to be run in after two years of the pandemic. This agitation is explained by the unusual appearance, in the four corners of the globe, of monkeypox, hitherto very little known and widespread in the West. Spain has been on health alert since Wednesday.
