A warning has issued to pet owners over the spread of monkeypox. Experts have warned the virus could become more common in Europe if the virus spreads to wildlife and pets.
Confirmed monkeypox cases in the UK have more than doubled to 57, from just 20, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) on Monday. Community transmission is understood to be taking place, particularly in urban areas.
However a Nottingham professor has offered his reassurance as Monkeypox continues to spread across the UK and Europe. Jonathan Ball, professor of virology at the University of Nottingham, described the spread as "unusual" but said it was very unlikely to be "Covid-like".
