The monkeypox virus is spreading locally in Melbourne, with eight to 10 cases acquired over the past few weeks, a health executive says | Exclusive | ViscountBrooky
One gay club night has gone on hiatus due to the emerging risks associated with the virus as more and more gay men return from virus hotspots on the European and North American summer party circuit.
“We need to let guys know that this is happening in Melbourne right now and they need to be informed in making their own decisions.”“Over the past couple of weeks there has been somewhere between eight to 10 locally acquired cases,” said Simon Ruth, chief executive Thorne Harbour Health, Australia’s oldest LGBTQ health organisation.
“Preventive measures including limiting sexual partners are very important for people who are not vaccinated,” Friedman said. A naked night, dubbed Adam, for gay men held at the Sircuit club on Fitzroy’s Smith Street shut down temporarily earlier this month. “Adam will continue to monitor the situation whilst engaging with relevant health authorities and will resume when it is deemed appropriate to do so and vaccines are widely available.”
