Belgium has become the first country to introduce a mandatory 21-day monkeypox quarantine for those who contact the virus, after three cases were recorded in the country.

The infections were all linked to a festival in the port city of Antwerp, according to the Daily Mail, as Belgium is now one of 14 countries to confirm outbreaks of the viral disease (in addition to suspected, but not confirmed cases in Austria and Greece).

On Sunday, US President Joe Biden said that the recent spread of monkeypox is "something that everybody should be concerned about."
"It is a concern in that if it were to spread it would be consequential," he said, speaking from Osan Air Base in South Korea where he was meeting with troops before the Japan leg of his Asia trip.
Biden is reportedly receiving regular updates, according to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who told the traveling press pool that the United States has vaccines "available to be deployed."
