Monkeypox cases are increasing in Canada, as part of the current global outbreak.

The viral disease - which often appears as a flu-like infection with a rash - spreads through close personal contact with those who have a symptomatic case.

Vaccines are offered to those most at risk. The World Health Organization has declared monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern.

Public Health Agency of Canada publicly tracks reported cases across the country, updating the number of confirmed monkeypox infections in each province and territory on a weekly basis.

The federal numbers do not distinguish between active and recovered cases, although PHAC says it continues to collect and analyze epidemiological information about the number of infections in this country. This is the number of known monkeypox cases in Canada.
