The first case in the latest monkeypox outbreak has been identified in Wales, public health officials have confirmed.

Many people may ask back if สล็อตฝากวอเลท games are just hitting spins and winning prizes. What's there to study? In fact, in each slot game there is an unequal value called RTP.

Public Health Wales (PHW) said the case was being managed "appropriately" and no further details about the patient would be disclosed.

It added the overall risk to the general public was low.

According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) there were 79 cases reported of monkeypox in the UK as of Tuesday.

The UKHSA said it would update the totals later on Thursday.

Health Minister Eluned Morgan said contact tracing was under way.

She added: "The confirmation of this case in Wales is not unexpected in light of the developing situation in the UK and in a number of countries around the world."

Director of health protection for PHW, Dr Giri Shankar, said prior to this case being confirmed, PHW was working with the UKHSA, as well as public health agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland, to respond to cases, and were well prepared for managing such incidents.

He added anyone with unusual rashes or legions on any part of their body should contact NHS 111, or call a sexual health service if they have any concerns.

Dr Shankar said: "It is usually a mild self-limiting illness, and most people recover within a few weeks, however, severe illness can occur in some individuals.

"In the current incident we are seeing presentations of cases mainly in gay, bisexual men, and men who have sex with other men, but nobody is immune from this infection so the message is for all the public but particularly for this group to be alert around any symptoms."

Later, he added: "We have experience of managing monkeypox cases including a couple of cases we had last year, and that did not result in significant further spread.

"However, this is an unusual event in terms of the numbers of cases we have seen in short period of time, this is why we are asking people to be vigilant, because the sooner we recognise the infection, the sooner we catch it and put in interventions, we can get on top of it."
