The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a live data dashboard for the multi-country monkeypox outbreak.
It can be accessed here: https://extranet.who.int/publicemergency
The dashboard provides a global overview of the monkeypox epidemiological situation as reported to WHO and will be updated daily. The report focuses on confirmed cases as defined by the WHO’s working case definition published in the Surveillance, case investigation and contact tracing for Monkeypox interim guidance.
