With the number of monkeypox cases rising in the UK, many people may be concerned they are showing symptoms of the illness. Official government advice states that anyone with the illness should isolate since there is a risk of transmission via close contact with others.

Scabs caused by the virus are also infectious so extra care should be taken with clothing and bedding. Despite fears of the virus spreading, it is important to note that it is rarely fatal and people with the virus generally recover within several weeks.

Symptoms of the infection generally begin with a fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes and chills. Following this, a rash will likely develop, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body.
