Monkey Pox is not as much of a concern as some might think.
The World Health Organisation has identified more than 90 cases of the disease across the US, England, Australia and Canada
Belgium has put in place a 21-day quarantine period for people who catch it.
Canterbury University Professor of Epidemiology Arindam Basu says told Kate Hawkesby we are in danger of over-hyping this.
He says rather than let people panic, we need to say it's a problem, but it's probably not going to kill people like Covid can.
