ABSTRACT
Monkeypox began to spread in various countries worldwide in May 2022. We aimed to identify the trends of monkeypox spread at national and continental levels and contextualize it to that of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread worldwide, classify the degree of risk by country, and identify the national indicators affecting the spread of both diseases. This longitudinal study was conducted using the data published by the WHO and World Bank to compare the trends of COVID-19 and monkeypox spread across six continents. Spearman’s correlation analysis was performed using the 91-day data. Feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) regression analysis was performed. The Spearman’s correlation analysis indicated a strong positive correlation between the spread of monkeypox and that of COVID-19. The FGLS regression analysis showed that the region, Universal Health Coverage (UHC), sociodemographic index (SDI), and population aged ≥65 years had a significant effect. To prevent the spread of monkeypox, preparations should be made based on the national infectious disease management system for COVID-19. However, some cases require a different approach. Therefore, a response policy that can promote the citizens’ initiative to apply preventive strategies should be established. Second, international quarantine measures that focus on the distribution of vaccines primarily in low-income African countries should be implemented. Third, people should be actively educated on the different methods for preventing monkeypox infection.
