The White House today declared monkeypox a public health emergency.

 

"We are prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said to reporters during a briefing on Thursday.

 

A public health emergency can trigger grant funding and open up more resources for various aspects of a federal response.
