People living in Newark have remained unfazed despite a suspected case of monkeypox being identified in the area. The first believed case of the disease in Nottinghamshire was recorded in Newark and Sherwood this week, according to the Noids report released by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
The suspected monkeypox case is one of 17 recorded in the UK throughout the week. However, Newark residents had little concerns about the news.
John Cowan, 50, said: “I'm not [concerned] at the moment, I haven’t really heard anything. Not really, we have a good health service normally. I didn’t even know there was any here.”
