The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed 287 cases have been spotted in England, 10 in Scotland, 2 in Northern Ireland and 3 in Wales. Anyone can get the virus, which is spread through close contact with an infected person. But most cases have been spotted among men who have sex with men. The UKHSA has not shared the age, region or gender of those infected with monkeypox. Britons who have a rash with blisters and have been in close contact with someone who might have monkeypox or have been to west or central Africa, where the virus is endemic, are being urged to contact a sexual health service.
