   A man in his 40s has contracted Connecticut’s first recorded   
   case of monkeypox, state health officials said Tuesday.   
      
   The patient is a resident of New Haven County. He is isolating   
   and has not been hospitalized.   
      
   The state’s Public Health Department “believes that the risk to   
   Connecticut residents from this case is low,” said Dr. Manisha   
   Juthani, the health commissioner. “The United States is   
   currently experiencing a monkeypox outbreak, and there will   
   likely be additional cases in Connecticut in the weeks ahead.”   
      
   Monkeypox can spread through prolonged close contact with an   
   infected person. This might include contact with skin lesions or   
   body fluids, sharing clothes or other materials that have been   
   used by an infected person, or inhaling respiratory droplets   
   during prolonged face-to-face contact, Juthani said.   
      
   Symptoms include fever, headache, chills, exhaustion, muscle   
   ache and back ache, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that can   
   look like pimples or blisters and shows up on the face, hands,   
   feet, chest, genitals or inside of the mouth.   
      
   “I know a lot of people are tired of hearing about viruses,”   
   Juthani said at a press conference Tuesday. “But what we do know   
   right now is that in the setting of COVID, people were socially   
   distanced for a long period of time and there are a number of   
   viruses that are coming back. We’re seeing young children   
   getting viruses that they haven’t had for years; adults are   
   having them.   
      
   “The clear message right now is that the risk to the general   
   public is pretty low. But you do need to be alert and aware.”   
      
   The health department has notified medical professionals in   
   Connecticut about the disease and informed local health   
   districts to monitor for cases.   
      
   A week ago, cities nationwide began offering vaccinations   
   against monkeypox to people who may have been exposed to the   
   virus, The New York Times reported. Prior to that, the shots   
   were only made available to those with a known exposure.   
      
   Supply of the vaccines has been limited, however. The Department   
   of Health and Human services said it would provide 56,000 doses   
   of the Jynneos vaccine immediately and an additional 240,000   
   doses in the coming weeks. Another 750,000 doses are expected to   
   become available over the summer, and a total of 1.6 million   
   doses by the end of this year, the Times reported.   
      
   As of Friday, 30 states, as well as the District of Columbia and   
   Puerto Rico, had recorded at least one case of monkeypox. States   
   with the highest number of cases include Florida, New York,   
   Illinois and California, according to data from the Centers for   
   Disease Control and Prevention. Nationwide, 457 cases of   
   monkeypox have been recorded. The data from Friday do not   
   include Connecticut’s case.   
      
   Connecticut residents who are concerned about fever, swollen   
   glands or a new rash should contact their health care provider   
   for an evaluation. Medical providers can request orthopoxvirus   
   testing for patients at the state public health laboratory by   
   calling 860-509-7994.
