*Monkeypox infection cases have reportedly risen to 14 people across 8 states. Four more monkeypox cases have been detected in the U.S., with one in Colorado being looked at as a “close contact” of another infected person they examined the day before. Another close contact was found in California, with someone who had been around an infected patient 3 days prior. According to numerous reports, several monkeypox cases stem from sexual activity at raves in Europe. Monkeypox can be transmitted from infected animals to humans, as well as from between humans through skin-to-skin contact and an infected person’s droplets.
