Monkeypox is not spread easily between people but health officials say anyone can catch it, particularly after close contact with someone with symptoms. It can be passed on through close contact with skin, clothes, bedding and towels - and, although not previously been described as a sexually transmitted infection, by direct contact during sex.
Health officials say people who develop a rash with blisters on any part of the body should contact NHS 111 or a sexual-health clinic.Doctors and public-health experts have spoken about the "delicate balance" of keeping those currently most at risk informed, without stigmatising them or letting others become complacent.
