Wales' First Minister has said it is "a matter of time" before Monkeypox arrives in Wales. The first case was found in Scotland on Monday.
Mark Drakeford told Members of the Senedd in plenary that he had met with the deputy chief medical officer on Monday, May 23 along with the Welsh Government health minister, Eluned Morgan.
Mr Drakeford said: "He was very clear with us this was just a matter of time. Wales is not immune from a disease of this sort. We're in a fortunate position that with cases occurring in other parts of the UK we've been able to put our response in place in advance of cases coming to Wales and that is exactly what we were discussing yesterday".
