Developing: Officials say there are now 4 presumptive cases of monkeypox in New York City.
"Any New Yorker who feels sick should stay home and contact their provider if they notice sores or lesions," the health department added.Monkeypox is a rare disease that health officials say starts with flu-like symptoms including swelling of the lymph nodes and causes a rash that can look like chicken pox.
Javaid added,"People can have fevers a day or two before they develop the rash, and then, and then overall generalized malaise, body aches, weakness." "Usually the infections are transmitted from people to people, but by somebody that is sick and has an open wound and somebody comes in contact," pediatrician Dr. Juan Tapia, with Somos Community Care, told CBS2's Jenna DeAngelis."The good thing that the virus is not highly contagious. It does not cause severe illnesses in most people and the treatment is just supportive," he said.
According to the WHO, monkeypox can be fatal for up to 1 in 10 people. Doctors say most patients recover in just a few weeks, and while the CDC says it's preparing for other potential cases, there's no reason to panic.
