Monkeypox: Contact tracing ongoing after Ireland's second case detected | Newstalk

Public health doctors are carrying out close contact tracing for Ireland’s second case of Monkeypox.

The HSS said the case, announced last night, was not unexpected given the outbreaks in the North, Britain and Europe. Ireland’s first case was detected in the east of the country; however, the HSE has provided no details on the second case.The HSE said more than 200 cases of the virus have been reported around the world in recent weeks.The HSE said anyone of any sexuality can catch monkeypox and the higher number of confirmed cases among MSM is likely due to the “positive health seeking behaviour” in this community.

Monkeypox primarily spreads through skin-to-skin contact and the HSE is urging the public to be alert to any unusual rashes or vesicular lesions on any part of their body – especially the genitalia. If they notice any such changes on their or their partner’s body, they should contact their local STI clinic or GP.
