Scotland now has four confirmed cases of Monkeypox, authorities have confirmed.
The latest cases join the two identified last Thursday (May 26), involving people who have recently travelled abroad.
Edinburgh Live report that Public Health Scotland said a further case of the virus had been identified with the individual concerned receiving “care and treatment appropriate to their condition”.
Close contacts of the infected person are being identified and are being provided with information and advice, as well as being given a vaccine “where appropriate”.
The case, announced on Monday, is the fourth confirmed in Scotland since May 23.
Dr Nick Phin, PHS director of public health science, said: “Anyone with an unusual blister-like rash or small number of blister-like sores on any part of their body, including their genital area, should avoid close contact with others and seek medical advice if they have any concerns.
“Public Health Scotland continues to work with NHS boards and wider partners in Scotland and the UK to investigate the source of these infections.
“We have well-established and robust infection control procedures for dealing with such cases of infectious disease and these are being strictly followed and the overall risk to the general public is low.”
