A Long Beach child has a presumptive case of monkeypox, health officials say.
"This proclamation is critical in helping us get ahead of this virus," Supervisor Holly Mitchell said in a statement."By declaring a local emergency, it allows us to cut through the red tape to better dedicate resources and educate residents on how to protect themselves and help stop the spread. It will also allow the County to quickly administer vaccines as more become available and to take the necessary efforts to obtain supplies and enhance outreach and awareness.
Matt Ford was not able to get a vaccine for monkeypox, and managed symptoms of the infection with pain medicines. Now that he is recovered after a three-week bout with the virus, Ford opened up about his experience in an interview with LX News' Ashley Holt. Health officials say those who develop a rash due to monkeypox should isolate, as they are contagious when they have the rash.
