A Monday roundtable discussion on the rising number of cases focused on practical ways to navigate the city without spreading the virus.
A blood sample tube is tested for the Monkeypox virus.Health experts say monkeypox cases in New York City are rising, but faster diagnosis processes could help counter the spread.
“Most of the recent cases, they reported no prior travel or exposure to somebody who’s traveled,” said Columbia University epidemiologist Dr. Wafaa El-Sadr. “So this means people have to be quite vigilant.” It was unclear how people have been exposed to monkeypox, experts said, as those with mild symptoms may not be aware they have the virus. Initial cases were amongst gay or bisexual men, doctors said, though anyone can contract the disease through close contact with someone who has an active lesions, or contaminated materials.
“People get symptoms, they may finally get sick, they go to one provider who thinks they may have chickenpox or herpes, and then they finally get diagnosed with with monkeypox,” Varma said. “By the time that happens, it's a bit too late to vaccinate your contacts and even your contacts of contacts. So that's the challenge that we're running into.”
