Canadian health officials are expected to provide an update on Friday regarding monkeypox, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.

A total of 112 cases of monkeypox have been reported in Canada as of Thursday, according to the country’s public health agency and Alberta’s chief medical officer of health. One case has been identified in British Columbia, four in Alberta, nine in Ontario and 98 in Quebec.

Monkeypox is a rare disease that comes from the same family of viruses that cause smallpox, which the World Health Organization (WHO) declared eradicated worldwide in 1980.
