The emergence of Clade 1b strain of mpox in the UK highlights the importance of vigilance as health officials monitor the spread among close contacts.
Professor Susan Hopkins emphasized that while the Clade 1b strain poses a more severe risk, the overall threat to the UK population remains low.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting reinforced the government's commitment to preventing mpox transmission through vaccination efforts and collaboration with international health partners.
Mpox, formerly known as Monkeypox, has been deemed a global health emergency due to its significant impact, especially among gay and bisexual men.
