In the Netherlands, a child became infected with the monkeypox virus for the first time. It is not yet clear how the child contracted the virus. It concerns a child of primary school age, says a spokeswoman for the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). “Given the symptoms, there is in any case no suspicion of abuse,” said the spokeswoman. “A source and contact investigation has been carried out and those involved have been informed.”
