The first case of monkey pox in Denmark was confirmed on 23 May, whereas the second case was confirmed on 24 May.
In addition, a third case of monkey pox has been detected in the Danish healthcare system. But because the individual in query lives in Sweden, it doesn’t rely in the Danish stock.

“We now have two cases of monkey pox in Denmark, and each of these contaminated have developed signs after touring to Spain. Infection chains haven’t but been recognized in Denmark. Our well being authorities monitor the scenario carefully and comprise the an infection by way of an infection detection, isolation and laboratory analyzes.
