That too! A 36-year-old from the St. Pölten district tested positive for the new type of monkeypox virus. It is the first case in Lower Austria. According to the health authorities, the man was probably infected during his vacation.
It has been feared since the first case in Vienna, and now monkeypox has arrived in Lower Austria as well. As the health authorities of the “Krone” confirmed Friday evening, a 36-year-old from the St. Pölten district became ill with the new virus. The man is a returnee from Spain. “But the patient is already on the mend,” says the country’s medical staff of a mild course. However, the reference to data protection does not provide specific details.
Not related to case in Vienna
After two years of being ravaged by the pandemic, this report is of course cause for concern – but experts say there is no cause for alarm so far. In Europe, no deaths have been reported from monkeypox, the majority of those affected are adult males and the disease is usually unaffected. In general, the virus is spreading slowly: after the first national case at the end of May, no further infections are known.
