How can MonkeyPox spread:
Monkeypox is very difficult to catch from someone carrying the infection and is mostly caught from infected wild animals in west of central Africa.
The illness for most people is mild with full recovery taking up to four weeks, while the chance of catching it in the UK is currently very low.
According to the NHS, you can catch monkeypox if you are bitten by an infected animal or if you touch its blood, body fluids, spots, blisters or scabs.
Catching it from an infected person is very uncommon, but transmission is possible through touching clothing, bedding, towels or other items used by someone with the rash.
Contact with their blisters or scabs or exposure to their coughs or sneezes could also put you at risk.
What are the symptoms to look out for?
It normally takes between five and 21 days for symptoms to appear.
The initial symptoms include a high temperature, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen glands, shivering and exhaustion.
A rash will usually appear between one and five days after the first symptoms, beginning on the face and then spreading to other parts of the body.
It can be confused with chickenpox as it begins with raised spots.
The symptoms will usually disappear in two to four weeks, although some people will need hospital treatment.
