Child in intensive care as UK monkeypox spreads

A CHILD is reportedly in intensive care with monkeypox as new cases are being detected daily in Britain.

It was claimed the youngster is being treated in a London hospital.

Chief medical adviser Dr Susan Hopkins said the virus is being spread by community transmission in Britain.

She added: "We are detecting more cases on a daily basis. I'd like to thank all those coming forward for testing to sexual health clinics, to GPs and emergency departments."

A total of 20 infections have been confirmed by the UK Health Security Agency ahead of an update today.
