Mateo Prochazka, head of the UK Health Security Agency investigating the outbreak, is urging worried Britons to use local sexual health services rather than 111 so staff can focus on handling other queries.
The UK Health Security Agency has confirmed 16 new cases, bringing the UK total since May 6 to 106. Mateo Prochazka, head of UKHSA, is urging worried Britons to use local sexual health services rather than NHS 111 helpline so its staff can focus more on handling other health queries. All new cases were detected in England, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland logged total of five so far.
Epidemiologist warned that new cases may slow down but risk is they will 'not be eliminated in some places'. Dr Adam Kucharski said this means monkeypox may spread to animals and become well-established in UK. Experts are confident monkeypox won't turn into a pandemic like Covid because it does not spread as easily.
