Nicola Sturgeon advisor gives 'concerning' Monkeypox warning as new cases found

Nicola Sturgeon's Covid advisor, Professor Devi Sridhar, has issued a warning surrounding the recent cases of Monkeypox.

Devi, who appeared numerous times on TV throughout the pandemic, and is the Chair of Global Public Health at Edinburgh University, has said that it is "worrying" that the cases are not originating from the same source.

Taking to Twitter to voice her opinion on the topic just days after contact tracing for the disease was extended to Scotland, Professor Sridhar said that while the vaccine protects patients from the disease, the worry is that new cases are not linked to the first cluster.
