Dallas County health officials say they are investigating a monkeypox case involving a resident who traveled internationally in the past month to a country with reported cases.

The test resulted positive at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lab in Atlanta on Monday.

Health officials said they have identified people who have been in direct contact with the patient who tested positive for monkeypox and are monitoring them for symptoms. Dallas County Health and Human Services said the CDC is working with the airline the passenger was on and local health officials to contact passengers who may have been in contact with the patient on a flight from Mexico to Dallas.“We have determined that there is little known risk to the general public at this time,” said DCHHS Director Dr. Philip Huang in a written statement.
