https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10835815/Monkeypox-Australia.htmlEverything you need to know about the Australian monkeypox outbreak as cases are reported in Sydney AND Melbourne and Kerry Chant reveals SEX and parties are a risk.
The Victorian case is known to have been in the UK where there are currently nine cases, which are all among
men from the gay and bisexual community.On Friday, NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant sent out an urgent warning for gay men in particular to watch out for symptoms - which include unusual rashes - and seek immediate help if worried.
'We know it's transmitted by that close skin to skin contact -
you can be infectious and that close droplet contact in a very sort of close prolonged way,' Dr Chant said.
'We're particularly urging
men who are gay or bisexual, or men who have sex with men,
to be aware of any unusual rashes or lesions and to contact by phone a sexual health clinic or GP without delay if they have any concerns.'
Dr Chant added: 'It is important to be particularly vigilant if you returned from overseas from
large parties or sex on premises venues overseas.
'You can imagine that some settings, such as sex on premises venues or other events and gatherings may lead to sort of what we've seen as super spreading events.
'It is important that people who have recently returned from Europe who attended such parties be particularly alert given the worldwide case reports today.'
