Canada: As of Friday, Theresa Tom, Canada's chief public health officer, had confirmed a total of 168 cases of monkey pox in the country.
Speaking at a health briefing, the senior doctor said that two confirmed cases had been reported nationally, including two from British Columbia, four from Alberta, 21 from Ontario and 141 from Quebec.
"We continue to monitor and respond to the growing monkeypox situation, including in the provinces and territories that support their efforts to carry out targeted vaccination campaigns," Tom said, adding that they are working to raise awareness about how the virus is transmitted.
In her opinion, of the cases for which information is available and reported to the Public Health Agency of Canada, all cases are men and women between the ages of 20 and 69 years.
However, the possibility of contact with the monkeypox virus is not unique to any group or organization. They said that if a person became infected with monkeypox or came in close contact with personal belongings, towels, and bed linen, they could spread the virus to anyone, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.
Monkeypox is a sylvatic zoonosis that can cause infections in humans, most commonly in the forests of central and western Africa. According to the World Health Organization, it is caused by the monkeypox virus, which belongs to the orthopox virus family.
