There are now 77 confirmed cases of monkeypox in Canada according to CBC News, and the virus has been detected in a new province, according to an update from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Monkeypox is a rare Zoonotic Virus from the same family as smallpox, with symptoms including fever, muscle aches, skin rashes, swollen lymph nodes and headache, among others. Monkeypox is a rare viral infection similar to human smallpox but milder, and was first recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the 1970s.
The incubation period — the span of time between initial infection and seeing symptoms — for monkeypox is generally 6-13 days, but can range to as many as 21 days, according to PHAC.
Spread occurs through close contact with an infected individual, usually through contact with an infected person’s fluids, open sores or large “respiratory droplets, as well as through shared contaminated objects.
The risk of exposure is not exclusively related to any group or setting. No matter your gender or sexual orientation, anyone could get infected and spread the virus if they come into close contact including intimate sexual contact with an infected person or their contaminated objects.
