\boxed{Multi-country mpox outbreak, April 27, 2023 summary: The global situation shows a moderate risk with 87,113 laboratory-confirmed cases and 130 deaths across 111 countries. Since the last report, 183 new cases and 14 deaths were reported. Cases declined weekly by 41%, though the Western Pacific Region experienced an increase due to sustained local transmission in Japan, Korea, and China, primarily affecting men. Globally, most cases involve men (96.2%) with a median age of 34 years, and transmission is mainly through skin and mucosal contact during sex. Incubation period estimates range from 6 to 9 days, shorter than historical data. WHO controls the outbreak through risk communication, community engagement, surveillance, and laboratory support, including a social media campaign targeting stigma-reduction and high-risk groups like men who have sex with men.}
