Over 100 people diagnosed with monkeypox in Washington
Since the first case was confirmed on May 27 in King County, the virus has spread across the state in less than a month.
As of Tuesday, 90 people have tested positive in King County, three in Pierce County, two in Snohomish County and five others around the state.
Monkeypox is a viral disease that causes rashes and other symptoms.
Many cases occur among men who have sex with men, although monkeypox can still spread person-to-person with any kind of close, skin-to-skin contact, according to the Washington State Department of Health.
