Ginebra. Un comité de expertos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) inició este jueves una reunión para decidir si el brote de viruela del mono es una emergencia de salud pública de alcance internacional, que es el nivel de alerta más alto.

Este comité de emergencia evaluará los indicadores epidemiológicos después de que en las últimas semanas se registraran 15.300 casos en 71 países, según las cifras de Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC por sus siglas en inglés), la agencia de salud pública de Estados Unidos.
