Eleven additional cases of monkeypox have been detected in the UK, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 20, the government said on Friday.

It comes as more than 100 monkeypox cases were found across Europe, with the normally-Africa-related disease also appearing in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
