Monkeypox disease, which was first detected in England and then started to appear in the USA, started to cause panic. As the number of cases increased in the UK, authorities deepened their investigations to keep the job tighter. The British press is heavily reporting on what it calls the monkeypox epidemic.
The fact that the last 4 people identified in the UK were homosexuals turned the focus of research on gay venues. It was announced that two of the first three people with the virus lived in the same house, and the other came from Nigeria. No contact or connection could be detected between the first three cases and the last four cases.
NINE CASE DETECTED IN ENGLAND
9 cases have been officially detected in the UK so far. It was announced that the first case was a British who went on a trip to Nigeria. Authorities stated that since the last 4 cases consisted of homosexuals, they turned their target to gay venues.
IT MAY BE LARGER THAN ANTICIPATED
According to the developments in Europe; Seven gay or bisexual men tested positive in Spain, while nine cases involving mostly young men were identified in Portugal. There are also fears that monkeypox may be much more common than we currently know, given that most of the patients are unrelated.
THEY HAVE PUBLISHED A WARNING
The UK Health Safety Agency (UKHSA) has warned men to watch out for rashes that develop on their face or genitals.
The British formed a team to keep in touch with detected cases and infected persons. They especially warned those who have sexual contacts and go to places such as spas or saunas to be careful.
