What else to remember
First case of monkey pox in France. The Directorate General of Health has confirmed that a first patient was suffering from “monkeypox” in Île-de-France. This 29-year-old man had not traveled “to a country where the virus is circulating”, but his condition does not inspire particular concern. In recent days, several dozen suspected or confirmed cases have been identified in various European countries (United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, etc.) and North America (United States and Canada). The monkey pox virus (“monkeypox” in English) has been endemic in certain African regions since the end of the 1970s. While epidemics outside Africa have already occurred, such a situation in as many Western countries as the times is “unprecedented” and “unusual”, recognizes the Ministry of Health. Deadly wave in Finistère. Three people from the same family tragically died yesterday at the end of the day in Plogoff. A 55-year-old man, a 33-year-old woman and their 12-year-old child were fishing on a dike in Pors-Loubous, a few kilometers from the Pointe du Raz, when they were suddenly surprised by a blade. Three other children of the couple, aged 13 to 15 and present at the scene, were taken care of by the medical and psychological services. Here is what we know about this tragedy.
