Australia has recorded two more cases of monkeypox, bringing the country’s total to four. 

Both cases are men in their 50s who recently returned home to Sydney: one had been visiting Queensland with no reported links to overseas travel and the other had returned from Europe.  

They both presented to their GPs after developing a mild illness several days after their travels. 

Queensland Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath said the Queensland visitor had spent time in the Whitsundays, according to The Age.
