5:25Now PlayingThe World Health Organisation says mpox has been called a global emergency to "stop it getting worse" as a new variant of the disease is "spreading very rapidly".
A spokesperson for the World Health Organisation, Dr Margaret Harris, told Sky News there are "no signs it has gone beyond Africa yet".
