NEW YORK - The number of likely monkeypox cases in New York City
has once again doubled in a week.

As of Monday, July 11, 223 people in the city have tested
positive for orthopoxvirus (see below) and all likely have
monkeypox, according to the city's Health Department. That is up
from 111 cases on July 5 and more than quadruple the number from
a week prior to that.

"There are likely more cases that have not been diagnosed," the
Health Department said on its website. "Most of these people
have not been hospitalized and have recovered on their own."

The current outbreak is among gay, bisexual and other men who
have sex with men, the Health Department said, but anyone can
get and spread monkeypox.

Health officials with the city and the state said they are
looking to work with organizations, representatives, and
advocates from LGBTQ community to share resources, answer
questions, and get feedback.

Dr. Mary Bassett, the state's health commissioner, and Dr.
Ashwin Vasan, the city's health commissioner, hosted a joint
virtual town hall on Monday evening to update the public on the
"evolving monkeypox outbreak."

Monkeypox Symptoms
Monkeypox begins as a rash or sores that can look like pimples
or blisters. These bumps can appear all over the body —
including your face, hands, feet, mouth, genitals or anus — and
can become infected.

The symptoms usually start between a week to two weeks after
exposure but may not appear for up to 21 days. The sickness can
last from two to four weeks with flu-like symptoms including
fever, chills, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, headache, and body
aches and pains — like a weaker version of smallpox.

"If you have a new or unexpected rash or other symptoms of
monkeypox, contact a health care provider," the Health
Department states. "A person is contagious until all sores have
healed, and a new layer of skin has formed, which can take two
to four weeks."

Monkeypox Vaccination
Vaccination involves getting two doses of the Jynneos vaccine,
which the FDA has approved to prevent "smallpox and monkeypox
disease in adults 18 years of age and older determined to be at
high risk," the agency states. The doses are administered four
weeks apart.

Demand for the vaccine has been high and supply has been low,
which prompted New York City to request more shots from the
federal government last week. Vaccine appointment slots will
open on Tuesday, July 12.

What Is Orthopoxvirus?
Public laboratories in New York state test patient samples for
orthopoxvirus, the genus, or group, of viruses that cause
monkeypox, smallpox, and other diseases.

"Cases that are confirmed positive for orthopoxvirus are
considered probable monkeypox cases because of the rarity of all orthopoxviruses, generally, and the presentation of symptoms, in
confirmed orthopoxvirus cases, being consistent with monkeypox,"
the New York State Health Department states on its website.
"Confirmed orthopoxvirus cases, or probable monkeypox cases, may
be further confirmed as monkeypox through CDC testing."
