The newly infected are three men aged 37, 39 and 33 from different parts of the country.

All three visited clinics with symptoms suggestive of monkeypox.

The clinics took samples, and sent them to the National Safety Laboratory, where the infection was confirmed.

The condition of the patients is satisfactory, and none of them need to be hospitalised. All three are quarantining in their homes.

All six confirmed cases of smallpox in Hungary to date occurred in men aged 20-40.
