The first suspected case of monkeypox has appeared in South Korea, and health authorities are conducting diagnostic tests. The suspected patient, Mr. A, was transferred to an isolation ward at Incheon Medical Center at around 9:40 PM on the 21st. Monkeypox is a virus endemic to the African region, but since the first reported case in the UK on the 7th of last month, it has been rapidly spreading worldwide.
