Health experts pointed to three groups at higher risk, which include people having prolonged close contact with someone who's infected, and those with a history of international travel - especially to countries with monkeypox.

The third group, as explained by Dr. Roy,"Regionally, individuals who identify as gay, trans, or men who have sex with men are part of that group where we have been seeing a disproportionate number of cases."

With Pride Weekend events ahead, Dr. Roy said all Bay Area counties are working together on messaging to make the public aware. "The key thing, I think, for the public as a whole to know is that the overall risk for monkeypox is low," Dr. Roy shared."The most important thing for people to do is - if they have symptoms of a rash - particularly if they have a new partner, is to seek care from a medical provider."
