Monkeypox cases in each state: California, New York declare emergencies as outbreak grows

As the monkeypox outbreak continues to spread worldwide, cases across U.S. states are rising – with three governors declaring states of emergency in the last week.

Confirmed cases of monkeypox have now surpassed 23,600 worldwide, according to Monday numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak, first spotted in Europe in late April, has reached 80 countries – the vast majority in nations that hadn't previously had significant caseloads of the rare, viral infection.

The World Health Organization said monkeypox was a global health emergency late last month.

The U.S. had reported more than 5,800 confirmed cases as of Monday, per the CDC. Highly-populated states are leading the numbers – with 1,390 cases in New York, followed by 827 cases in California.

States declaring emergency over monkeypox
On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a state of emergency, and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker declared the outbreak a public health emergency. Declaring an emergency expands resources such as vaccine distribution.

"We’ll continue to work with the federal government to secure more vaccines, raise awareness about reducing risk, and stand with the LGBTQ community fighting stigmatization," Newsom said in a statement Monday.

Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul also declared New York's outbreak as a state disaster emergency.
