A man said he felt like "a walking zombie" after catching monkeypox on a trip to London.
Wesley Williams, a waiter at Cheshire Oaks, said he went into work the day after returning from his weekend trip but quickly became unwell and could barely stand up. The 34-year-old was eventually sent home when he almost collapsed while serving customers.
He told the ECHO that the next day, spots started to appear on his body 30 minutes after he started his shift. Wesley said: "I was completely shattered. I was so knackered I couldn’t stand up properly.
