California Mpox Cases Raise Concerns
Two California mpox cases have been reported, sparking concerns, but health officials assure that the risk to the public remains low.
In New York, it was announced that two Californians diagnosed with mpox may be the first U.S. cases resulting from the local spread of a different version of the virus.
- The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services confirmed the first case through testing at a state lab.
- Los Angeles County health officials reported a second, similar case.
The risk to the public is low, officials say.
These are considered the first cases of what is known as clade I mpox, differing from the previous six cases which were among international travelers believed to have been infected abroad.
Both infected individuals in California were hospitalized and are now recovering at home, with officials declining to provide further details.
