A man in his 40s has contracted Connecticut’s first recorded
case of monkeypox, state health officials said Tuesday.

The patient is a resident of New Haven County. He is isolating
and has not been hospitalized.

The state’s Public Health Department “believes that the risk to
Connecticut residents from this case is low,” said Dr. Manisha
Juthani, the health commissioner. “The United States is
currently experiencing a monkeypox outbreak, and there will
likely be additional cases in Connecticut in the weeks ahead.”

Monkeypox can spread through prolonged close contact with an
infected person. This might include contact with skin lesions or
body fluids, sharing clothes or other materials that have been
used by an infected person, or inhaling respiratory droplets
during prolonged face-to-face contact, Juthani said.

Symptoms include fever, headache, chills, exhaustion, muscle
ache and back ache, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that can
look like pimples or blisters and shows up on the face, hands,
feet, chest, genitals or inside of the mouth.

“I know a lot of people are tired of hearing about viruses,”
Juthani said at a press conference Tuesday. “But what we do know
right now is that in the setting of COVID, people were socially
distanced for a long period of time and there are a number of
viruses that are coming back. We’re seeing young children
getting viruses that they haven’t had for years; adults are
having them.

“The clear message right now is that the risk to the general
public is pretty low. But you do need to be alert and aware.”

The health department has notified medical professionals in
Connecticut about the disease and informed local health
districts to monitor for cases.

A week ago, cities nationwide began offering vaccinations
against monkeypox to people who may have been exposed to the
virus, The New York Times reported. Prior to that, the shots
were only made available to those with a known exposure.

Supply of the vaccines has been limited, however. The Department
of Health and Human services said it would provide 56,000 doses
of the Jynneos vaccine immediately and an additional 240,000
doses in the coming weeks. Another 750,000 doses are expected to
become available over the summer, and a total of 1.6 million
doses by the end of this year, the Times reported.

As of Friday, 30 states, as well as the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico, had recorded at least one case of monkeypox. States
with the highest number of cases include Florida, New York,
Illinois and California, according to data from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Nationwide, 457 cases of
monkeypox have been recorded. The data from Friday do not
include Connecticut’s case.

Connecticut residents who are concerned about fever, swollen
glands or a new rash should contact their health care provider
for an evaluation. Medical providers can request orthopoxvirus
testing for patients at the state public health laboratory by
calling 860-509-7994.
