As reported by the British National Health Service, cases are rare and people usually recover within weeks. The most common symptoms of the disease are: Fever, headache, chills, fatigue and rash.

The patient was isolated and treated in London by an infectious disease specialist. The patient reportedly recently returned from a trip to Nigeria, where British corpses believe he contracted the disease.

In 2018, the first case of the disease was found in the UK. All of the recorded cases are related to people who have returned from a trip from West Africa, but according to information from Olhar Digital, Britain’s National Health Service said it would trace the patient’s last contacts in the country, including those who traveled on the same plane from Nigeria..

“It is important to stress that monkeypox does not spread easily between people and that the overall risk to the general public is very low.”Colin Brown, director of clinical and emerging infections at the UK Health Safety Agency, told Britain’s Guardian newspaper.
