Indiana has confirmed monkeypox infections among men, women and children, according to an Indiana Department of Health briefing addressed to health care providers on July 22 and obtained by WFYI.

The Marion County Health Department reported the first two probable cases of monkeypox. Public health experts say the risk of transmission is still very low but people need to be aware of how the virus spreads.

Viruses can remain infectious on different surfaces for days, and your hands become the vehicle.
