New Jersey has its first probable case of the monkeypox virus, according to the state Department of Health.
The department announced Monday that a test confirmed the presence of orthopoxvirus in a person in northern New Jersey on Saturday.
The affected person is isolating at home and contact tracing is being performed to determine others who may have been exposed, according to the health department. It originates in primates and other wild animals and causes fever, body aches, chills and fatigue in most patients. The World Health Organization has said people with monkeypox could be infectious for up to four weeks and advised them to isolate until they have completely recovered.
