Europe Disease Expert on Mpox Threat

Pamela Rendi-Wagner, Head of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), says a mutated strain of the virus that causes mpox, which is fueling an outbreak in several African countries, is likely to lead to sporadic imported cases in Europe. However, risk to Europeans on the new strain is low, she adds. Rendi-Wagner spoke to "The Pulse with Francine Lacqua" on Bloomberg TV.
