Belgium has become the first country to introduce compulsory monkeypox quarantine: Anyone testing positive must isolate for 21 days. The country has reported three such cases. But that was enough to put the administration in a tizzy, since 14 countries have already confirmed outbreaks. Incidentally, there is a 'significant rise' in UK cases.
