On May 14, local time, the British Health and Safety Agency said that two more people in England have been diagnosed with monkeypox virus. The two patients lived in the same house, and health authorities are investigating the source of their infection, but have determined they are not related to a previously diagnosed patient.

Health experts stress that monkeypox is not easy to spread from person to person, and Contagion can only occur through close contact with someone who is infected with the virus. The symptoms of the patients are similar to those of smallpox patients. They usually have flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, or swollen lymph nodes at the beginning of the onset, and then develop a widespread rash on the face and body. The course of the disease is usually 2 to 4 weeks.
Monkeypox is a rare viral infection that most patients recover within a few weeks, but can lead to severe illness in some, the UK health department said.
On May 7, the UK Health Security Agency announced the discovery of a monkeypox patient who had recently returned to the UK from Nigeria.
