Monkeypox symptoms include fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, headaches and fatigue and can present anywhere from five to 21 days after exposure. As of June 4, more than 780 cases of the virus had been confirmed in countries where monkeypox is not typically seen, according to the World Health Organization. Anyone who develops symptoms of monkeypox is advised to see a doctor, wear a mask, cover any lesions and let the clinic know their symptoms ahead of arrival.
