There are more than 700 cases of monkeypox worldwide, according to estimates from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Six cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in Ireland.

They include 21 instances in the United States, with investigations now suggesting it is spreading inside the country.

"We also have at least one case in the United States that does not have a travel link or know how they acquired their infection."Monkeypox is a rare disease that is related to - but less severe than - smallpox, causing a rash that spreads, fever, chills, and aches, among other symptoms. Spanish health authorities reported 30 new cases of monkeypox today, bringing its total tally of infections to 186, the highest of the current outbreak.

Raj Panjabi, senior director for the White House's global health security and biodefense division, said 1,200 vaccines and 100 treatment courses had been delivered to US states, where they were offered to close contacts of those infected.
