Suspected monkeypox cases in Canada spark public health concerns

More countries around the world, including Canada, are now reporting numerous potential cases of monkeypox.

Cases of the rare virus are usually confined to Africa, and researchers are now trying to figure out how widespread the virus is.

Monkeypox is an orthopoxvirus that causes disease, typically transmitted to humans from animals.

Human-to-human transmission can occur through close contact with another person, through bodily fluids, lesions on skin like blisters, and/or respiratory droplets.

Jamie Maraucher explains how the virus affects people, and how it might have travelled to Canada.
