Commenting, Welsh Conservative and Shadow Health Minister Russell George MS said:
“With Covid having hit the UK over two years ago, I hope Public Health Wales, government officials, and other health organisations have learnt lessons that will allow them to nip monkeypox in the bud early on before it becomes too widespread.
“Thankfully, monkeypox is not Covid, being far less transmissible, but that does not mean we cannot be vigilant and anyone with symptoms should ensure, for their sake and others’, that they seek medical advice.”
