Monkeypox Northern Ireland cases rise as Public Health Agency warn of symptoms

The number of confirmed cases of Monkeypox in Northern Ireland has risen to two, as of May 30, the Public Health Agency has said.

While the risk to the Northern Ireland population remains low, people are being asked to be alert to any new rashes or lesions, which would appear like spots, ulcers or blisters, on any part of their body.

A spokesperson for the PHA has reminded those who think they have been at risk of exposure to monkeypox and have symptoms to phone first and not to go to a healthcare facility without contacting them first.
