“We need to guard against having emerging communicable diseases, like monkeypox established in the Caribbean. Monkeypox is not a disease like COVID-19. It is not airborne and demands close prolonged contact with an infected person. The way this particular monkeypox outbreak presents is different from what was reported in endemic countries. Caribbean people need to be vigilant and pay attention,” stated Dr. Joy St. John, Executive Director at the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), following the World Health Organization (WHO) declaration on 23 July, 2022, that the global spread of the monkeypox virus, constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
