Sweden reports case of more infectious form of mpox 1st identified in Congo - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Swedish health officials said Thursday they have identified the first case of a person with the more infectious form of mpox first seen in eastern Congo, a day after the World Health Organisation declared the outbreaks there and elsewhere in Africa to be a global emergency.

Magnus Gisslen, a state epidemiologist with the Swedish health agency, said the person had been treated and given rules of conduct.

The fact that a patient with mpox is treated in the country does not affect the risk to the general population," Swedish officials said, adding that experts estimate that risk to be very low.
