A summary report on the disease as of July 4 says there are also eight possible cases in Ontario. The report says 85 cases are in Toronto, with more than one case each in health units covering Ottawa, Halton Region and Middlesex-London. Health units in Hamilton, Durham Region, Eastern Ontario, Haldimand-Norfolk, Peel Region, Peterborough, Simcoe-Muskoka and Guelph have also confirmed isolated cases. All reported cases are in men between the ages of 20 and 65, and commonly reported symptoms include rash, oral and genital lesions, swollen lymph nodes, headache, fever, chills, myalgia, and fatigue. Public health says most cases are among men who report close contact with men, but says anyone can get monkeypox. Monkeypox generally does not spread easily between humans and is transmitted through prolonged close contact via respiratory droplets, direct contact with skin lesions or body fluids, or through contaminated clothing or bedding. The disease comes from the same family of viruses that cause smallpox, which the World Health Organization declared eradicated worldwide in 1980. Smallpox vaccines have been shown to be effective in fighting the smallpox virus. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on July 6, 2022.
