There have been over 20 confirmed cases.
See table 1 here:
https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2022-DON385
We're up to 20 now:

They write:
> It does not spread easily between people, but it can be spread through:
> - touching clothing, bedding or towels used by someone with the monkeypox rash
> - touching monkeypox skin blisters or scabs
> - the coughs or sneezes of a person with the monkeypox rash
I'm beginning to question the 'it does not spread easily' part of this
Two more infections have been confirmed. The total now stands at 9.
