He says that it is highly transmissible and while there are low numbers in Ireland at present it has the potential to grow.

Professor Staines told the station that it should be under control by now, likening it to chicken pox.

“It’s quite infectious, it spreads by close contact, chicken pox is a very familiar illness… it’s not nice it’s not pleasant… a very small number of children get quite sick and Monkeypox seems to be in the same territory.”
