Monkeypox - Should we be worried?

A rash, fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion - these are the symptoms of Monkeypox, a rare viral disease now infecting humans.

So far there are no cases in New Zealand that we know about. Australia has confirmed its first case of monkeypox this afternoon with cases also being found in United States, Canada, France, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain.

Karyn asks virologist Jemma Geoghegan if we should be worried.
