Monkeypox: More than 200 contacts tracked in US for rare disease

More than 200 people in 27 US states are being tracked for possible rare monkeypox infections, health officials say.

They fear people may have come in to contact with a Texas man who brought the disease in from Nigeria earlier this month.

The man – believed to be the first monkeypox case in the US since 2003 – was taken to hospital but is in a stable condition.

So far, no new cases have been found.
