The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared that the monkeypox outbreak, which has spread to more than 70 countries, is now a global emergency.
Monkeypox is related to smallpox and cases are usually found in West and Central Africa, with the virus not often spreading elsewhere.
The disease, which was first discovered in monkeys, is usually mild but can cause severe illness in some cases and due to its spread, has caused concern among health officials.
