Cases of monkeypox are on the rise in Canada, as part of a current global outbreak.
The viral disease—often presenting as a flu-like infection with a rash—spreads through close personal contact with those who have a symptomatic case. Vaccines are being offered to those at highest risk.

The Public Health Agency of Canada is tracking the publicly reported cases across the country, updating the number of confirmed monkeypox infections in each province and territory on a weekly basis.
