People who have “possible, probable or confirmed monkeypox” are being told they should isolate at home, as long as they remain well enough, rather than being admitted to hospital. Health officials issued new advice on Monday, as an extra 71 cases were identified in England, taking the UK total confirmed cases to 179. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued new guidance in a bid to stem transmission in the community. People with monkeypox symptoms are being ordered to isolate at home, amid a near-doubling in cases.
