US federal health officials warned the number of monkeypox
cases in the country will continue to climb through at least August.
As of Friday, a total of 1,814 confirmed monkeypox cases
have been reported in the country, according to the latest data from the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
New York had the most cases, with 489, followed by California
with 266 and Illinois with 174, CDC data showed.
"Now as we closely monitor cases, I would like you to
all understand that we anticipate an increase in cases in the coming
weeks" due to better testing for the disease and streamlined paperwork for
states to report new cases to the Biden administration, CDC Director Rochelle
Walensky said on Friday.
Health experts said that given the testing bottlenecks in
the United States, monkeypox cases are likely being undercounted.
"We know monkeypox's symptoms usually start within
three weeks of exposure to the virus. So we anticipate we may see an increase
in cases throughout the month of July and then to August," Walensky said.
