   OKLAHOMA CITY —   
   The Oklahoma State Department of Health identified the state's   
   second probable case of monkeypox.   
      
   Health department officials said in a news release that the   
   second probable case was identified in a central Oklahoma   
   resident with recent international travel to a country with   
   confirmed cases. The person is in isolation, and the Oklahoma   
   State Department of Health is investigating and conducting   
   contact tracing.   
      
   This probable case has no connection or relation to the first   
   case of monkeypox identified in Oklahoma the week of June 6,   
   authorities said in the news release. The Centers for Disease   
   Control and Prevention later confirmed the initial monkeypox   
   case.   
      
   "We knew there was a possibility of more cases being identified   
   in the state," State Epidemiologist Jolianne Stone said in the   
   news release. "Our response team remains activated and continues   
   to coordinate various areas within the agency to respond as   
   necessary when a case arises."   
      
   Health officials said monkeypox is not easily transmissible, but   
   the virus can be transmitted to humans through direct, physical   
   contact with an infected person or animal. Monkeypox also can be   
   transmitted from person to person through large respiratory   
   droplets or through direct contact with body fluids.   
      
   Symptoms may include fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes. The   
   news release says an infected person will also present with   
   firm, deep-seated and well-circumscribed lesions.
