Pet owners with monkeypox to be advised to stay away from animals amid fears of virus spreading

People with monkeypox will be advised to stay away from animals due to concerns about the virus spreading into nature.

The latest figures from health officials show how seven more cases of the virus have been identified in England. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the new cases bring the UK total since May 7 to 78. As of May 24, 77 of the cases were identified in England and one case was reported in Scotland.

The Daily Mail reports how the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs will issue advice later this week and warn of a potential risk of human-to-animal transmission.
