RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - With monkeypox cases rising throughout the state, Richmond-Henrico Health District leaders laid out their plans in case the disease makes it way to Central Virginia.
As of Thursday, there have been 19 confirmed cases of monkeypox.
“We need to keep an eye out for it, both for individuals who are sexually active and for providers who may be evaluating people for the rash.”
Monkeypox is a rare but potentially serious disease that can be transmitted through direct contact with body fluid or monkeypox lesions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms from the infection appear between 7-14 days after exposure, and the illness can typically lasts between two to four weeks.
