California: 2022 Monkeypox

S.F. all but gives up on contact tracing for monkeypox

San Francisco has demanded more vaccines and treatment options for its escalating cases of monkeypox — but the city has all but abandoned a time-honored method of containing outbreaks: contact tracing.

U.S. health officials declared monkeypox a national health emergency last week, as did California and San Francisco city officials, and although it’s typically non-fatal, no one wants to become infected by the smallpox relative, with its painful lesions that can lead to scarring.

With 472 cases — 36% of the state’s 1,310 cases — city public health officials believe San Francisco has the nation’s highest per-capita rate.

A child from the western portion of Riverside County is the first pediatric case of monkeypox in the county, local health officials announced Friday.

The child, who is younger than 10, did not need to be hospitalized and is recovering at home. Public health officials were notified this week about the preliminary positive test result and are trying to determine how the child became infected.

... In California, seven people under the age of 16 have tested positive for monkeypox, according to the state public health department.

Swim student notified of possible Mpox exposure after instructor tests positive

Posted: Sep 16, 2022 / 06:21 PM PDT

CARLSBAD, Calif. – A local swim center has taken steps to keep customers and staff safe after an employee recently tested positive for Mpox. Although health experts have said and told the center that waterborne transmission of the virus is extremely low.

Waterworks Aquatics told FOX 5 that they took immediate action, contacted the San Diego County Health and Human Services Department, and made sure the employee isolates at home.

They also said they notified their customers right away.

“Anything that is related to anyone’s safety is always the utmost importance to us,” said Todd Sarkaria the Senior Vice President of Operations at Waterworks Aquatics.

The employee tested positive earlier in September. The center said the employee is self-isolating and cannot return until a doctor clears them.

The center has notified anyone who may have been in contact with the employee and told FOX 5’s Alani Letang that contact happened in a chlorinated pool, which is balanced and cleaned daily.

The center said they use a UV light system to kill bacteria and other micro-organisms in the water, plus they are continuing with COVID-19 measures.

The center provides swim lessons primarily to children, but also offers lap swimming for anyone looking to get in a swimming workout.

“Chlorine in the water will kill the monkeypox virus, at least in water that’s up to the standards that the state requires for a public pool. Also, you can imagine the virus that might be coming off of a person’s skin would be diluted in a large pool, and it would be very difficult for the virus to contact someone else in the pool,” said Dr. Peter Binstock, the Medical Director at Sharp Memorial Hospital’s Infection Prevention Department.
