The Biden administration declared the monkeypox virus an official public health emergency this week. That means more funding and resources may become available to localized and state governments that are working to fight the virus and address growing caseloads. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been more than 7,000 confirmed cases of the virus in the U.S. as of Aug. 4.
