Jamaica recorded its first confirmed case of monkeypox in July after a male from Clarendon traveled from the United Kingdom.
The country has since confirmed 15 monkeypox cases after the Ministry of Health and Wellness disclosed on Sunday that an additional case had been confirmed.
Monkeypox transfers from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets, as well as contaminated materials such as bedding.
