Santa Cruz County health officials on Wednesday announced the county's second probable monkeypox case in a week, with confirmation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still pending.

According to the county's Public Health Division, the patient is a local resident who tested positive at a California Reference Laboratory Network facility.

Santa Cruz County announced its first probable monkeypox case June 29. Health experts have stressed that the risk of monkeypox to the general population remains low. The virus is spread through skin-to-skin contact or bodily fluids via kissing, breathing at close range, sexual activity and sharing bedding or clothing. The virus is also not airborne like COVID-19 or the flu.
