What was missing from Jared Polis's response to Colorado's first monkeypox case.
In addition to Europe, recent monkeypox cases have been found in Canada, where the Colorado patient recently traveled. But while the CDPHE says that"the risk to the public continues to be low," the department also advises that"Coloradans should be aware of monkeypox symptoms and prevention." The disease often begins with"fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, and exhaustion.
For his part, Polis offers answers to four frequently asked questions about monkeypox in his office's release: What is a high-risk exposure? An example of a high-risk exposure would be unprotected contact between a person’s skin or mucous membranes and the skin, lesions, or bodily fluids from a person known to have active monkeypox virus in their body. The determination of risk and the need for vaccination following an exposure is made by a medical provider with consultation from public health.
