According to CNBC, health officials in New York said yesterday that they had confirmed the first US case of the disease in over a decade. America had previously eradicated the disease with vaccine.
The unvaccinated person who contracted the disease is a Rockland County resident. They were admitted to the hospital after they had a bad experience.
According to CNBC, the person who contracted the strain is believed to have gotten the oral vaccine. The oral vaccine is no longer available in the US so doctors think they caught the virus abroad.
Rockland County executive Ed Day said at a news conference that the person is no longer contagious. Figuring out if anyone else has been affected by this disease is one of the issues we are focusing on.
The first Monkeypox case in the US was found in Massachusetts in May, and has since been reported in multiple states.
The virus is being transmitted through sex, according to health officials.
