European tertiary care institutions have the capacity to manage the current human monkeypox outbreak and have implemented effective protective measures to prevent nosocomial infections during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. However, there is potential for improvement in diagnostic and treatment capacities.
We approached European tertiary care institutions to provide details regarding their management of the current human monkeypox outbreak. 73 out of 105 sites stated to have capacities to manage the outbreak adequately amid the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
