The World Health Organisation says we have to work together to make self testing possible for suspected monkeypox cases.
Serious cases of the disease have reached over 22,000 worldwide with the WHO declaring it a global health emergency last month.
Governors in California, New York and Illinois have made similar proclamations on the disease while India recently declared it's first death from the illness.
Andrew Seale from the WHO says testing needs to be expanded to catch the disease before it can cause more damage:
"We really do need to focus more and I know there are teams already set up to do this, on improving testing. So at the moment, the focus really is on swabbing active lesions, and because of these new presentations that we're seeing, we need to find more efficient ways perhaps, ultimately, shelf testing would be fantastic."
