Health workers screen passengers arriving from abroad for monkeypox symptoms at the Anna International Airport terminal in Chennai, India, on 3 June, 2022.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday it was aware of more than 700 global cases of monkeypox, including 21 in the United States, with investigations now suggesting it is spreading inside the country.
Generally confined to western and central Africa, cases have been reported in Europe since May and the number of countries affected has grown since. Affected patients are isolating to help prevent the spreading of the virus, CDC officials told reporters in a conference call. "Anyone can get monkeypox and we are carefully monitoring for monkeypox that may be spreading in any population, including those who are not identifying as men who have sex with men," Ms McQuiston told the briefing.
A patient is considered recovered when all of the sores have scabbed over, the scabs fall off and healthy skin has emerged. Ms McQuiston said it is possible that some form of the virus has been transmitting under the radar in the United States, albeit on a very limited basis.
The only monkey pox here, is the SBS, and ABC.
