The state of Sonora's health department said a 46-year-old woman from San Luis, Mexico got Monkeypox during a trip to the United States.

The patient is recovering at home but state officials ask to take preventive actions especially for those who travel out of the country

Three weeks after arriving to our state, patients may felt a fever, body aches, headache and, if the patient has vesicles or scabs in different parts of their body, then they should seek medical attention.
