Monkeypox is a rare, viral infection caused by the monkeypox virus. The risk level to the general public remains low, according to the CDC.
On Wednesday, the Galveston County Health District said the case is from an out-of-state resident and is currently isolated in the county.
"While the risk level for our community is low, we do know that monkeypox is here in Galveston County and our region. We encourage residents to seek medical attention if you notice a new or unexplained rash or other monkeypox symptoms," said Dr. Philip Keiser, GCHD CEO and Galveston County local health authority.
