It is. You need close person to person contact to catch it, transmission is usually sexual. Symptoms are mild and most people recover quickly. It has a 3% fatality rate, but that is based on the outcomes in African nations not European ones with better healthcare. Common anti-virals can treat it and if absolutely necessary the Smallpox vaccine is 85% effective against it.
So I am not in the least bit concerned about it.
