A child has been taken to intensive care at a hospital in London after they were diagnosed with monkeypox, as another 11 cases were confirmed in one day.
The viral infection is now transmitting in the community, rather than just being found among people who have returned from overseas, health chiefs have warned.
But the health secretary Sajid Javid reassured people that most cases are ‘mild’ and the Government is getting more vaccines that are effective against monkeypox.
