The city of Sao Paulo in Brazil has recorded the first case of Monkeypox, according to media reports. 

The patient, according to the G1 broadcaster, is a 41-year-old male who recently arrived from Spain. The man has been quarantined.

Monkeypox is an uncommon viral disease that is endemic in various African countries and is mainly transmitted to humans by wild animals. Body fluids, respiratory droplets, and other contaminated materials can all be used to spread the disease. Fever, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes are common symptoms of the condition.

According to the World Health Organization, an outbreak of Monkeypox began in non-endemic countries in May, with over 1,000 cases confirmed in people in 30 countries from May 13 to June 8.

The World Health Organization announced 780 laboratory-confirmed Monkeypox cases from 27 non-endemic countries on Sunday while maintaining that the worldwide risk level remained moderate.

The WHO stated that the 780 cases reported from May 13 to June 2 were most likely underestimated because of insufficient epidemiological and laboratory data.

"It is highly likely that other countries will identify cases and there will be further spread of the virus," the UN health agency stated. Apart from individuals being segregated, there have been few hospitalizations reported.
