(LifeSiteNews) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they expect monkeypox to spread across the United States.
On Monday, following a confirmed case of monkeypox in Massachusetts, the CDC has announced that the federal public health agency expects an increased number of monkeypox cases across America, Breitbart reported.
Dr. Jennifer McQuiston of the CDC confirmed a case of monkeypox after four orthopox cases in New York City, Florida, and Utah. Monkeypox is part of the family of viruses belonging to orthopox.
These cases are currently being studied at a CDC laboratory. Similar to tactics employed for COVID-19, active contact tracing is underway with discussion of quarantines and vaccines.
President Joe Biden told Americans they should be “concerned” at the news of the new virus.
“They haven’t told me the level of exposure yet, but it is something that everybody should be concerned about,” the president told reporters.
Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the U.S. holds a supply of “vaccine that is relevant to treating monkeypox.”
“We have vaccine available to be deployed for that purpose,” he added.
CDC’s prediction follows closely behind Belgium’s implementation of quarantine procedures after four cases of monkeypox.
Dr. David Heymann, former head of the WHO emergencies department, said the leading theory is that the infection began in Spain and Belgium with sexual transmission among homosexual and bisexual men at two raves.
“We know monkeypox can spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected, and it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission,” he added.
