Four more cases of monkeypox have been found in England, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to seven.
Health bosses said three of the cases were detected in London and one was detected in the North East of England. The UK Health Security (UKHSA) is now working to find links between the four cases, which all appear to have been infected in the capital.
Common contacts have been established between two of the four individuals who have caught the virus. Those needing medical care are being treated in specialist infectious disease units at the Royal Free Hospital, Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne and Guy’s and St Thomas’, officials said.
