(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
The United States has confirmed nearly 15,000 monkeypox cases,
according to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), Trend reports citing Xinhua .
So far, the United States has the world's highest tally of
monkeypox cases.
A total of 14,115 known monkeypox cases had been reported
nationwide as of Thursday, CDC data showed. New York had the most
cases, with 2744, followed by California with 2,663 and Florida
with 1372.
The Biden administration has been facing criticism in its
response to the monkeypox outbreak, including failure to order
enough vaccines, speed treatments and make tests available to head
off the outbreak.
One hundred days after the monkeypox outbreak was first detected
in Europe, no country has more cases than the United States -- with
public health experts warning the virus is on the verge of becoming
permanently entrenched here, said a report of The Washington
Post.
