According to the CDC, the case was diagnosed in a person who recently traveled from East Africa. The person was treated shortly after his return to the US at a local medical facility and discharged, according to doctors.

“Since then, the individual has been isolated at home, is not receiving specific treatment for mpox, and his symptoms are improving,” the CDC said.
