Third monkeypox case recorded in Sydney, NSW
A fresh monkeypox case has emerged in one Aussie state after a resident returned home from a trip overseas.
A third case of monkeypox has been identified in NSW after a Sydney resident returned home from overseas.
The man in his 50s presented to his doctor with a mild illness just days after arriving back into Sydney from Europe.
He is isolating at home while NSW Health trace his last movements.
This case is not connected to the two previously reported cases in NSW over the past month.
NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant praised the clinicians who identified the symptoms of the rare virus that until recently had never been identified in NSW.
