The New York City declared a state of emergency this Saturday for being one of the “epicenters of the outbreak” of monkeypox in the United States and estimated that “approximately 150,000 New Yorkers may currently be at risk of exposure” to this virus.
“This declaration, effective immediately, will allow the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to issue emergency commissioner orders under the New York City Health Code and modify the Health Code provisions to provide measures to help slow the spread,” Mayor Eric Adams and DOHMH Commissioner Ashwin Vasan said in a joint statement.
