Another 36 monkeypox cases have been detected in the UK, taking the total to 56.
All the new infections are in England, while Scotland announced its first case earlier today.
Health officials said that while the outbreak is "significant and concerning", the risk to the UK population remains low.
It comes as experts on the continent warned there is a risk the rare virus could be passed from humans to pets and then wildlife, and it may become endemic in Europe.
