Cases in NYC
As of July 22, 839 people in New York City have tested positive for orthopoxvirus/monkeypox. Cases in NYC are increasing, and there are likely many more cases that have not been diagnosed.
Anyone can get and spread monkeypox. The current cases are primarily spreading among social networks of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM). If you are an MSM and have multiple or anonymous sex partners, your likelihood of exposure is high.
If you have a new or unexpected rash or sores, contact a health care provider.
The following data, which has a two-day reporting lag, will be updated weekly:
