Spain has reported its first monkeypox-related death in what is Europe's first-known death and the second outside of Africa in the current outbreak.
The country's health ministry confirmed the death today. In its latest report, the Spanish Health Ministry said 4,298 cases had been confirmed in the country.
The report had information on 3,750 patients, out of which 120 had been hospitalised, which accounted for 3.2 per cent. It also included the death of one person.
Brazil reported the first monkeypox-related death outside the African continent in the current outbreak earlier on Friday.
Earlier this month, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the monkeypox outbreak a "global health emergency".
