State Representative Jessica González issued the following statement: “Monkeypox cases are
rising in Texas and throughout the United States. Monkeypox can affect all individuals, and we must take

and keep our communities safe. I hope you will join us for this panel discussion on monkeypox on August

Per the CDC, monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox can
spread from person-to-person through: direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs, or body fluids;
respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact, or during intimate physical contact, such as
kissing, cuddling, or sex; touching items (such as clothing or linens) that previously touched the infectious
rash or body fluids; and pregnant people can spread the virus to their fetus through the placenta.
