The World Health Organization has declared leprosy as a public health emergency
- The Second Emergency Meeting of the World Health Organization on Infectious Diseases was held. At the end of it, this announcement has been released.
- "More than 16,000 monkeypox cases have been reported from 75 countries," said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. He also informed that so far five lives have been lost due to this effect.
- There are currently only two such health emergencies in force globally – the first is the coronavirus, and the second is polio and the entire effort to eradicate it.
- Tedros said the emergency committee was unable to reach a consensus on whether the monkeypox outbreak should be classified as a global health emergency, but that it had concluded that the outbreak was indeed of international concern because it was spreading rapidly around the world.
- Excavation work on behalf of the Department of Archeology has been going on since the 3rd of the last 3rd in the village area of Oragadam next to Sriperumbudur.
- Also, when a ditch was dug around it, items such as ancient stone, glass beads and bones were found. The materials found there are being researched. The researchers said that the study will reveal what year the people lived and their culture.
- The women's 400m hurdles race took place in Oregon. Two-time Olympic champion Sidney McLaughlin set a world record by covering this distance in 50.65 seconds. Earlier, he clocked a world record of 51.41 seconds at the US Track and Field Championships.
- McLaughlin was credited with breaking his own record. Bemke Boll from the Netherlands took silver in 52.27 seconds and Dalila Muhammad, another American, won the bronze medal in 53.13 seconds.
