City of Montreal health officials will be providing an update on monkeypox cases on Tuesday.

Canada's first two cases were reported by Quebec public health officials on May 19.

Dr. Robert Pilarski, a general physician in Montreal, who treated one of those patients last week, said the individual likely got the virus from a sauna he recently visited.

On Tuesday the World Health Organization said it will convene an emergency committee next week to assess whether the monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern.
