Update (1440ET): The Biden administration has officially declared monkeypox a public health emergency.
“I want to make an announcement today that I will be declaring a public health emergency,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said during a Thursday call with reporters.
“We’re prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus.”
“We urge every American to kick monkey pox seriously and to take responsibility and help us tackle this virus,” he continued.

The Biden administration is planning to declare a public health emergency over monkeypox as soon as Thursday, the Washington Post reports, citing ‘two officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity’ – possibly after Nancy Pelosi loaded up on monkeypox stonks.
The declaration – an effort to ‘galvanize awareness and unlock additional flexibility and funding to fight the virus’ spread’ – would come from Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, who is also considering a second declaration which would allow federal officials to ‘expedite medical countermeasures, such as potential treatments and vaccines, without going through full-fledged federal reviews,’ the Post continues.
The administration’s announcement follows similar decisions by health officials in New York, California and Illinois and global health leaders. The World Health Organization on July 23 declared that monkeypox was a public health emergency of international concern, its highest-level warning, after confirmed outbreaks in about 70 countries where the virus has not historically spread. -WaPo
