In Belarus, there is no Monkeypox," according to Gorbunov.

He claimed that people who had been vaccinated against smallpox are also immune to Monkeypox.

One of the most common diseases in central and west African rainforests, Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic illness. More than 1,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported to WHO by 28 countries since May.
