mpox
Mpox is a virus that spreads from person to person through contact with infected lesions, skin blisters, body fluids or respiratory secretions. It can also be transmitted by contact with materials contaminated with the virus including clothing or bedding and through bites or scratches from infected animals. Currently, mpox has spread mostly between who have had close/intimate or sexual contact with a person who has the virus – with gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men being most affected.
Travel is not a significant factor among current cases which suggests local community transmission of the virus.
