    An adult person with mild symptoms, compatible with an infection with the Monkeypox virus, was taken care of a few days ago, indicates, this Friday, July 15, the Regional Health Agency of Martinique. He is a resident “with the notion of traveling to a region where the virus is circulating”.

The Martinique ARS and the France Antilles public health team, in conjunction with the doctor who treated this person, quickly began the investigations in order to trace this patient's chain of contacts as quickly as possible and were able to establish the absence of close contact since his return to the territory.
