Monkeypox Update:
While Monkeypox is currently rare and has not been spreading as quickly as COVID-19, cases are still on the rise around the country and locally. Individuals at highest risk tend to be men who have sex with men who are in close sexual contact with partners.
People who think they have monkeypox or have had close personal contact with someone who has monkeypox should visit a healthcare provider to help them decide if they need to be tested for monkeypox.
