The first European case was confirmed on May 7 in an individual who returned to England from Nigeria. Since then, over 100 cases have been confirmed or suspected in Europe of the rare viral infection, which is more common to the west and central Africa.

In Denmark, the first case has been detected in a person who tested positive for monkeypox after they returned from a trip to Gran Canaria, Spain as reported by the Danish health authorities.
