The Health Ministry confirmed two cases of monkeypox in Israel. In both cases, patients had just returned from western European countries. While Israel is not sounding the alarm, Health Ministry officials are convening in an emergency meeting to decide if any decisive measures should be taken. The virus is contagious, but it seems only through bodily fluid contact and is not thought to be airborne. Please pray for wisdom for Israeli officials as they decide what next steps to take, if any. Please also pray for a full and complete recovery for those infected.
