And Portugal said its caseload jumped to 74 cases on Friday.ĭoctors in Britain, Spain, Portugal, Canada, the US and elsewhere have noted that the majority of infections to date have been in gay and bisexual men, or men who have sex with men. UK officials added 16 more cases to their monkeypox tally, making Britain's total 106. On Friday, Spanish authorities said the number of cases there had risen to 98, including one woman, whose infection is 'directly related' to a chain of transmission that had been previously limited to men, according to officials in the region of Madrid.
Although WHO said nearly 200 monkeypox cases have been reported, that seemed a likely undercount.
