Public Health Ontario reports 230 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the province.
The agency said the vast majority of cases appear in Toronto with 172 infections in the city.
Public health said most cases are among men who report intimate contact with men, but says anyone can suffer from monkeypox and one of the confirmed cases is in a woman.
The report says nine people have been hospitalized with the disease and one person has been in intensive care.
Ontario Medical Director of Health Dr. Kieran Moore recently said that smallpox in monkeys is likely to exist for many months due to its long incubation period, but noted that the province is not seeing rapid growth of the monkey. virus.
