Is monkeypox deadly?
Yes, monkeypox can be a deadly condition, but only in very rare circumstances. European countries such as Spain have reported their first monkeypox deaths while the WHO (World Health Organisation) say it is only a matter of time before the same happens in the UK.
Professor of Medicine at the University of East Anglia Paul Hunter said of monkeypox’s mortality rate: “At the moment we’ve seen far fewer deaths for the number of infections than I think most people would have expected a few weeks back, but it’s still early days.
“People don’t die the minute they’ve got the infection, but weeks afterwards. As the number of cases increases, I expect more deaths and probably we will see a higher death rate than we’ve got at the moment.”
Meanwhile, it’s important people know the symptoms to look out for so they isolate as requested by the UKHSA.
