Monkeypox found in three new countries, as scientists look for cause of outbreak – BBC News

Monkeypox cases have been identified in Israel, Switzerland and Austria, meaning the outbreak has now been found in 15 nations outside Africa.

However, the risk to the wider public is said to be low.

Anyone who has had contact with a monkeypox case is being advised to isolate for 21 days, according to official guidance in the UK and Austria.

The UK Health Security Agency has also warned that some groups could be vulnerable to severe illness from the virus, including pregnant women, immunosuppressed people, and children under 12.
