I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I am sorry for being late to the meeting, which happened because I had some technical problems. I hope my questions do not repeat points that have already been covered.

As I am sure the witnesses are aware, news of the monkeypox virus has really triggered fear in a large number of people, many of whom are still trying to overcome the anxieties of the Covid-19 pandemic. There probably are many false narratives circulating in regard to monkeypox. What steps will the witnesses take to dispel those rumours and false narratives?
