Mpox (monkeypox)

Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is a viral disease most commonly passed on through contact with the blisters or lesions of someone who has mpox. While mpox cases are increasing in some parts of the world and localised outbreaks will likely continue, the risk of catching the virus in Aotearoa New Zealand is very low as it is not easily spread from person to person.
