A new case in Domodedovo

A man with monkeypox has been hospitalized at the Domodedovo hospital in the Moscow Region, the medical facility reported on its Telegram channel (Gazeta.Ru cites the channel). The patient is 50 years old and had returned from a tourist trip to Barcelona. After feeling unwell, developing a fever and the characteristic rash, he sought medical care. The man is currently undergoing treatment, and his condition is described as satisfactory.

The fourth case in a month

The hospital's statement notes that this is already the fourth case of this highly contagious disease in a month. This suggests a series of imported or local cases in the region, but the publication gives no details about the previous three patients — where and when they were identified or how they are linked to the new case. Gazeta.Ru also notes that the story is being updated, so details of the epidemiological situation remain unknown for now.
