The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has detected another 14 cases of the monkeypox virus in England.
It brings the total UK number of cases to 71 with 70 cases recorded in England and only one case recorded in Scotland. As of May 23, no cases have been identified in Wales or Northern Ireland, the UKHSA added.
Health officials stressed the risk to the UK population “remains low” but it urged anyone with unusual rashes or lesions on any part of their body to contact NHS 111 or their local sexual health service.
