Monkeypox: WHO reports 780 laboratory-confirmed cases

At least 780 cases of monkeypox cases have been identified in more than two dozen countries, the World Health Organization said this weekend. 

While health officials have stressed that they don't expect the outbreak to become a pandemic, WHO said Saturday that it is "highly likely" more countries will see cases pop up in the coming days and weeks.
