Canada's public health agency confirmed a Manitoba person contracted the more severe mpox strain. PHAC says public risk remains low.

The Manitoba government is reporting the first confirmed case of mpox in the province, noting it is also a strain that has not been seen in Canada before.

Canada confirmed its first case of clade I mpox in Manitoba, linked to an African outbreak. The infected individual is isolating and sought medical help in Canada. Public health authorities are collaborating for contact tracing as the WHO underscores the ongoing global threat of the virus.

The Mpox outbreak continues to represent a public health emergency, the World Health Organization said on Friday, November 22, 2024. The WHO first declared the emergency in August, when an outbreak of a new form of mpox spread from the badly-hit Democratic Republic of Congo to neighbouring countries.

On November 22, 2024, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) confirmed the first case of clade I mpox in Canada in an individual in Manitoba.

The Public Health Agency of Canada said this travel-related case was associated with an ongoing outbreak of clade I mpox in central and eastern Africa.

The WHO extends the emergency status over the current mpox outbreak in which Canada has confirmed its first case linked to the new Clade I variant.
