"Health officials reported Saturday the first known case of a person infected with the new mpox strain in the U.S. This individual contracted mpox while traveling to east Africa and has been treated for a mild illness. The person is currently isolating at home and recovering, and no evidence suggests that mpox is spreading in the U.S. with the public remaining at low risk for exposure."
"Symptoms of the new strain, known as clade Ib, appear to be more severe and are more likely to lead to death. Since late September, over 3,100 cases of mpox clade Ib have been reported globally, primarily in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Burundi. This situation emphasizes the need for continued vigilance as mpox spreads at low levels in the U.S., highlighting the importance of preventive measures and vaccination."
