California Mpox Cases Raise Concerns
Two California mpox cases have been reported, raising concerns, but health officials say the risk to the public remains low.
In New York, health officials 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.
According to officials,
the risk to the public is low. These are the first cases of what is known as clade I mpox in the area, with all six previous cases being among international travelers who were believed to have been infected abroad.
Both infected individuals in California were hospitalized and are now recovering at home. Officials declined to provide further details.
