Fourth monkeypox case found in Wales

Another monkeypox case has been found in Wales to bring the total to four, it has been revealed. It comes as the number of infections has increased across the UK.

Another 43 cases of monkeypox have been detected in England in the space of two days, experts have said. According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Scotland and Wales have each seen one extra case.

As of 9 June, there are 366 infections across the UK, with 348 in England, 12 in Scotland, four in Wales and two in Northern Ireland. It comes after the virus became a "notifiable disease" in England, meaning all medics must alert local health authorities to suspected cases.
