Abstract
Although new cases of monkeypox have been expected in the Western Pacific Region (WPR) since the virus emerged in Europe earlier this year, there have been only a few reported cases across the WPR (New Zealand 2, Singapore 6, South Korea 1, Taiwan 2), other than a limited number of cases (compared to numbers of cases seen elsewhere in the world) in Australia (33), as of July 15, 2022. In our short communication, we highlight two key reasons for this: i) international travel has still not fully resumed in the WPR following the COVID-19 pandemic, and ii) local public health measures to counter the spread of COVID-19 have not been completely relaxed. We provide supporting evidence for both of these reasons.
