Dr. Derval Igoe:

To date, 19 people have been hospitalised. Of those, seven were admitted for clinical care related to monkeypox. We know two were admitted for isolation purposes only. This would have happened very early on in the evolution of this epidemic. We do not have information on the other six yet. For our knowledge, however, 11 people have been hospitalised requiring clinical care. We do not have information on the duration of hospitalisation at the moment.
