The Public Health Agency of Canada is warning travellers to be extra careful abroad because of the potential threat of catching monkeypox. The government issued a level two travel health notice to encourage people travelling outside the country to take extra precautions. The public health agency says travellers could find themselves subjected to isolation or other measures to limit the spread of the virus. The monkeypox virus, known for causing telltale skin lesions, typically enters human populations when someone touches or eats infected wildlife. Alberta has two confirmed cases and British Columbia has one confirmed case.
