A Johnson County man has tested “presumptive positive” for monkeypox, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The KDHE said this is the first presumptive positive case in Kansas. Health officials said the man recently traveled out of state. The KDHE said he is working with health officials to identify any recent contacts who might have been exposed. “The risk of monkeypox spreading in Kansas remains low,” Janet Stanek, secretary of KDHE, said. “If you are experiencing symptoms of monkeypox illness, it’s important to stay home and contact your health care provider as soon as possible to avoid spreading the disease to others.”
