The two infected individuals traveled to an area in Europe earlier this month that is “currently experiencing monkeypox cases” and became symptomatic afterward, county health officials advised.
Further information about the two presumably infected individuals was not released early Monday; county health department officials cited medical privacy laws.Utah’s public health system “has not identified any exposure risk to the public due to these probable cases,” according to county officials. Salt Lake County health officials also said there’s no evidence to indicate that the two presumably infected people infected anyone outside of Salt Lake County. The Utah Department of Health referred requests for comment to the Salt Lake County Health Department.“This is not easily spread from human-to-human. We are not talking about COVID here,” she said. “It is really that direct contact with individuals who have monkeypox, and that’s how it’s spreading right now.
Dunn said Utahns should see a doctor if they have recently traveled to an area where monkeypox has been identified — or came into close contact with someone who is symptomatic — and have since developed symptoms.Monkeypox is not known to spread easily among humans, Dunn said, and transmission doesn’t generally happen through casual contact.
