Health officials in Mexico confirmed the country’s first known case of monkeypox on Saturday.

"This is a 50-year-old person, a permanent resident of New York City, who was probably infected in the Netherlands," said Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion Hugo Lopez-Gatell.

The person remains in a stable condition and is being treated in Mexico City.
