Health officials are raising concerns about monkeypox in Saskatchewan after new information related to recent cases.
“The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is warning the public of the increased risk of contracting monkeypox through anonymous sexual contact due to recent known cases linked to this source of transmission,” said a statement released Saturday.
“Information reported to public health related to travel in and out of the province triggered this alert.”
Saskatchewan has two reported cases of the viral illness. SHA says individuals who believe they have been exposed can contact Healthline 811 to determine if they are considered at risk or eligible for the vaccine.
