A person with a confirmed case of monkeypox was at a Toronto homeless shelter recently but has since been moved to the city's COVID-19 isolation and recovery site, the city says.

In an email on Sunday, the city declined to name the shelter where the person went or to specify how long the person was at the shelter. The city also wouldn't say whether the shelter is experiencing an outbreak as a result of the case.

When there is a need for unhoused people with monkeypox or COVID-19 to isolate at a shelter hotel, plans will be developed with shelter providers to ensure that the facilities operate within health ministry guidelines for isolation and outbreaks in congregate living settings, the city said. Nearly all of the people confirmed to be infected with monkeypox are men. Only two cases were reported in women. The average age of those infected so far is slightly under 36 years old.

TPH says on its monkeypox page: "Monkeypox is a rare viral illness that causes fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes and tiredness, followed by a rash over a person's body. It is usually spread by very close contact with someone who has the virus."

Most if not all Toronto shelters are purposely kept filthy. Maybe if the shelters were kept to even the minimum standards of cleanliness, this and other contagions would not be a problem. Why doesn't the CBC do a story on the massive and regular body lice breakouts?

It's Bed Bugs Google It. lmao Losers
