Ontario's chief medical officer of health says monkeypox activity in the province has peaked.
Dr. Kieran Moore says the province peaked in total number of active cases the week of July 15, when roughly 16 to 18 cases a day were being identified through PCR testing, while now that is down to only about one a day.
In its latest report released Wednesday, Public Health Ontario said there were 656 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the province as of the previous day, an increase of 25 from the week before. Moore said he has great appreciation for the work the Gay Men's Sexual Health Alliance has done, and for everyone who was at risk who got vaccinated or got tested for symptoms.
Until then, the priority group for the vaccine was gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men who met certain criteria.
