It is truly a carnival-like atmosphere in Birmingham with thousands of visitors from across the world coming to the Brummie Land to experience the magic of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
More importantly, there are as many as 6,500 athletes taking part in the two-week sporting spectacle. Keeping in mind the huge influx of people to the West Midlands, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has urged the athletes to “be aware of the signs and symptoms of monkeypox” amid a “party atmosphere” at the event. There are more than 2,200 confirmed cases of Monkeypox in the UK.
