Monkeypox in Mallorca: Clade I detected – how worried should we really be?

Answer

What are the first symptoms of monkeypox and when should I get tested in Mallorca?

Monkeypox often starts with flu-like symptoms, followed one to five days later by skin changes such as pustules or scabs. If you develop a suspicious rash, especially after close contact with someone who may be infected, it makes sense to seek medical advice and ask about testing. A person is generally considered recovered once all scabs have healed.
