French health authorities said Monday that three cases of monkeypox have been identified in the country as part of an alarming outbreak of the virus outside of Africa. However, the World Health Organisation said there is no reason for now to offer mass inoculations, but instead, urges hygiene measures to stop the spread.
France confirmed a first case of monkeypox in the Paris region on 20 May, and on Monday the Sante Publique health authority said three cases have been identified.
