One monkeypox case has been identified in Wales, Public Health Wales (PHW) said on Thursday.
It comes after Scotland confirmed its first case of the disease on Monday.
The total number of announced confirmed cases in the UK is now 79—with 77 of them detected in England and none in Northern Ireland—although the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is expected to publish a further update later on Thursday.
Dr. Giri Shankar, director of health protection for PHW, said the case is being “appropriately” managed.
Shankar said PHW won’t reveal further details relating to the patient in order to protect patient confidentiality….
