A global health expert has said that the UK may report a "handful" more monkeypox cases after the virus was detected in the country.
In the past two weeks there have been three confirmed infections - with just seven known cases prior to 2022, despite the virus being detected in humans more than 50 years ago.
Dr Michael Head of Southampton University warned that the condition can be "very severe" for those who contract it, with the fatality rate varying between one and 15 per cent depending on the outbreak.
