Breaking: NSW records first locally acquired monkeypox case | BillieEder
NSW recorded its first locally acquired monkeypox case on Sunday as NSW Health urged people to remain vigilant for symptoms of the infection which is most commonly transmitted among gay and bisexual men.
“Men who have sex with men who are returning from overseas should contact their GP or local sexual health clinic for a check-up when they return as symptoms of monkeypox can be mild,” Dr Broome said. NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said the state’s targeted monkeypox vaccination rollout would prioritise gay and bisexual men who have sex with men who are homeless, sex workers or drug-affected, as well as HIV-positive and immune-suppressed people and close contacts of cases.
