‘No concern or evidence’ of spread, health officials say
San Mateo County health officials have announced the nation’s first known case of a key mpox variant that has fueled an outbreak of the disease across Eastern and Central Africa.
The case marked the first known instance of that particular mpox variant appearing in the United States. A different variant of the virus, called clade II, has been circulating in the U.S. since 2022 and has sickened at least 108 people in the county, the agency said. “There is no concern or evidence that mpox clade I is currently spreading among individuals in San Mateo County or elsewhere in the United States,” the health agency said in a news release Saturday.
