A 30-year-old man with no travel history was confirmed by health department to have been infected with Monkey Pox. Monkeypox is a rare viral disease from the same family as smallpox, but is much less severe. It occurs mostly in remote parts of Central and West African countries, near tropical rain forests. However, there have been unusually high numbers of people infected with monkey pox outside of Africa this year with no travel links to the region. Speaking about the trend in infections, the National Health Laboratory Service's Professor Koleka Mlisana says infections have been mainly in men who have sex with men.
