The number of new monkeypox cases in the United States has been steadily declining in recent weeks, with cases in the first week of September being around half as high as they were at their peak one month ago,  media sources said.

However, the recent passing of a citizen of Los Angeles County served as a heartbreaking reminder that the outbreak is still ongoing and very dangerous, as per reports.

"There is some optimism that these cases will level out. That this outbreak is over should not provide anyone comfort, "At a briefing, David Harvey, the National Coalition of STD Directors' executive director, was reported as saying.
"To combat this outbreak, we still need to step up our efforts. And there is a tonne of data issues, clinical care questions, and research questions about this highly unique epidemic of a long-known virus that is manifesting itself quite differently in the US that still needs to be answered "Harvey added.

According to a report in the media this week, the Los Angeles County officials were investigating into a second fatality that was likely caused by monkeypox.

Rita Singhal, the county's chief medical director, had stated that at this early stage of the investigation, no specifics were available.

The monkeypox virus has infected a total of 52,997 people, as per data by the World Health Organization (WHO). Of the cases recorded in the last thirty days, 70.7 percent came from the US and 28.3 percent from Europe.
