Spain reported Saturday the second death linked to monkeypox, a day after announcing the first death due to the virus.
The Spanish Health Ministry said in a report, “of the 3,750 patients, 120 were transferred to the hospital and 2 passed away.”
“An analysis will be carried out at a later time to confirm the cause of death,” the Ministry told AFP.
The Health Ministry’s Emergency Coordination and Alert Center stated that 4,298 people were infected with monkeypox in Spain, making it among the most affected countries in the world.
Brazil also reported its first death linked to monkeypox on Friday.
Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) considered the monkeypox outbreak as a global health emergency.
The viral virus has so far infected about 17,000 people in 74 countries around the world, according to the WHO Director-General.
