Saskatchewan reported its first case of monkeypox and the province declined to say which community the patient lives in, saying disclosing personal information could identify them
The provincial Ministry of Health says they are still tracing who the patient may have had contact with but believe they were infected outside the province and that risk to other residents is low.
Government declined to disclose the patient’s location, gender or age, saying this may identify them. More than half the 477 cases reported on PHAC’s website since then have been in Quebec. Other patients have been identified in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and now Saskatchewan. The virus does not spread easily from person-to-person, Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Health says. It is often transmitted by prolonged face-to-face contact, touching bodily fluids of someone who is infected with the virus or sharing household items like bedsheets or clothes.Article content
