106 monkeypox cases reported in China


China reported 106 monkeypox infections between June 2 and 30, but the virus' spread is primarily among sexual contact between men, and the possibility of a large-scale domestic outbreak is low, health experts said.

The southern province of Guangdong reported 48 cases, while Beijing reported 45. The remaining cases were detected in Jiangsu, Hubei, Shandong and Zhejiang provinces, according to a report released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday.
