The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday it was ending a 10-month-long global health emergency for mpox, a viral disease that led to confirmed cases in more than a hundred countries.世界卫生组织（WHO）11日表示，将宣布猴痘疫情不再构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”，过去10个月全球100多个国家发现猴痘确诊病例。

The organization declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022 and backed its stand in November and February.WHO于2022年7月宣布猴痘为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件，并于2022年11月和2023年2月重申其立场。

The WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared the end of the emergency status for the disease based on the recommendation of the organization's emergency committee, which met on Wednesday.WHO总干事谭德塞根据10日召开的世卫组织紧急委员会会议的建议，宣布猴痘疫情不再构成“国际关注的实发公共卫生事件”。

The move signals that the crisis due to mpox, which spreads through direct contact with body fluids and causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled skin lesions, has come under control.此举表明，猴痘病毒引发的危机已得到控制。猴痘通过与体液直接接触传播，症状包括流感样症状和脓包皮疹样皮肤病变。

Nicola Low, vice chair of WHO's emergency committee on mpox, said there was a need to move to a strategy for managing the long-term public health risks of mpox than to rely on emergency measures.WHO猴痘应急委员会副主席尼古拉·洛表示，需要制定一项战略来管理猴痘的长期公共卫生风险，而不是依赖应急措施。
