No, WHO did not ask governments to prepare for mpox lockdowns in August 2024
- The World Health Organization has not instructed governments around the world to prepare for lockdowns due to an mpox outbreak in August 2024, a WHO spokesperson said, contrary to posts shared on social media.
Following the announcement, social media posts said: “BREAKING: The World Health Organization has reportedly instructed world governments to prepare for lockdowns due to monkeypox outbreak. They're lying to us again. There is no MPOX outbreak.” The narrative traces to an Aug.15 article on The People’s Voice website, which has previously published false information addressed by Reuters.
“The main route of transmission remains sexual, with some secondary spread from close contact, and lockdowns are not appropriate for control of such an infection,” he said. So, lockdowns would not be a recommended strategy for Mpox as it would have little, if any, benefit.”
