The American government declared a state of emergency in connection with the widespread outbreak of monkey pox in this country.

At the same time as the outbreak of "monkey pox" spread throughout the world, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of this disease a global emergency. Declaring a global emergency means that the monkey pox outbreak is an "extraordinary event" that could spread to more countries and requires a coordinated global response.

Egyptian parliament on Sunday approved a presidential decree to extend the nationwide state of emergency for another three months, according to the official gazette.
