The majority of cases so far have been acquired overseas but the new transmission has prompted a warning from state health authorities.
NSW Health executive director of health protection Dr Richard Broome said people needed to be vigilant for symptoms regardless of having returned from overseas."It is important that people with these symptoms avoid close contact with others, including sexual activity, as condoms are not effective at preventing the transmission of monkeypox," Dr Broome said.Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men are some of the most at risk of contracting the virus.
Symptoms include rashes, lesions or sores - particularly around the genitals - as well as fevers, aches and swollen lymph nodes. Person-to-person transmission occurs with very close contact with infected people, including skin-to skin contact during intimate activity.There are 42 confirmed cases of monkeypox in NSW, including the recent local infection, as well as two other cases who acquired it elsewhere in Australia.
The federal government secured 450,000 doses of the third generation Jynneos smallpox vaccine earlier this month, with the first delivery of 22,000 doses distributed around the country.READ MORE
