The number of Monkeypox cases in Ireland has doubled from two to four just days after the first case was identified in the country.
The Health Protection Surveillance Centre explained that the new cases are to be expected given the number of Monkeypox cases in Europe and the UK.
"For each case, Public Health is following up those who had close contact with the case while they were infectious. In order to maintain patient confidentiality, no further information about the cases will be provided," the HPSC has said.
