The current average is the lowest it’s been since July, county health officials said.
Los Angeles County this week reported a continued decline in monkeypox cases, with an average of five daily cases in its most recent data, down from 35 two months ago.
Ferrer also said there is mounting evidence showing that vaccination and antiviral treatment are key measures that can protect individuals and help to slow the spread of monkeypox, noting that the county has an ample supply of the vaccine. Monkeypox is generally spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact, resulting from infectious rashes and scabs, though respiratory secretions and bodily fluids exchanged during extended physical episodes, such as sexual intercourse, can also lead to transmission, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Symptoms include fresh pimples, blisters, rashes, fever and fatigue. There is no specific treatment.
