Spain's monkeypox outbreak has been traced back to a single 'sauna', officials confirmed today amid spiralling concerns about its global spread.

The country has now detected 30 cases of the tropical virus — more than anywhere else in the world, including Britain. Almost all have occurred in Madrid, in young gay and bisexual men.

Authorities tasked with tracing the cases in the Spanish capital say they have now uncovered a common theme among the infected — they all attended the same unnamed sauna. The word sauna is used in Spain to describe establishments popular with gay men looking for sex, as opposed to just a bathhouse.


UK health chiefs are also probing saunas and bars, as they desperately try to contain monkeypox. Officials say a disproportionate number of its cases are in gay and bisexual men.

World Health Organization (WHO) bosses convened an emergency meeting to discuss monkeypox's threat today, with the Netherlands becoming the twelfth country to declare cases. Although, none of its ill patients have yet to be definitively diagnosed.

WHO's European chief has admitted he is concerned that the spread of monkeypox will only accelerate over the summer months. He also warned that it was likely transmission had been 'ongoing for some time'.

Dr Hans Kluge said: 'As we enter the summer season in the European region, with mass gatherings, festivals and parties, I am concerned transmission could accelerate, as the cases currently being detected are among those engaging in sexual activity, and the symptoms are unfamiliar to many.'

Meanwhile, Britain's monkeypox outbreak doubled in size today. Sajid Javid announced 11 more people had tested positive for the virus — which is usually only detected within Africa.


No details about the new UK patients have been released yet.

But six of the previous nine confirmed cases were in men who have sex with men — which officials say is 'highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks'. A similar pattern is emerging in Europe.

Leading experts are adamant monkeypox won't spiral out of control like Covid, which forced the nation into two years of economically-crippling restrictions. However, they have called the UK's escalating situation 'undoubtedly worrying' and 'unprecedented'.

Dr Susan Hopkins, the UK Health Security Agency's chief medical adviser, claimed authorities 'anticipated further cases would be detected'.

Yet, in a stark warning, she added: 'We expect this increase to continue in the coming days and for more cases to be identified in the wider community.'

MailOnline yesterday revealed health chiefs were stockpiling vaccines amid growing fears about the virus' spread. Ministers were already sitting on 5,000 doses but have now ordered an extra 20,000, sources say.

Close contacts of the UK's known cases, including NHS workers, are already being offered the jab.

But experts today told this website how it was possible gay men could be offered monkeypox vaccines as part of a focused roll-out, if cases continue to disproportionally be in homosexual and bisexual males.

Spain has now overtaken Britain to become the world's current monkeypox capital. Health authorities there today reported another 23 confirmed cases of monkeypox, mainly in the Madrid region.

Officials in Madrid have been working on tracing the cases mainly from a single outbreak in one sauna, according to regional health chief Enrique Ruiz Escudero.

He said: 'The Public Health Department will carry out an even more detailed analysis... to control contagion, cut the chains of transmission and try to mitigate the transmission of this virus as much as possible.'

Another 18 suspected cases are under investigation in Spain, 15 in the Madrid region, two in the Canary Islands and one in Andalusia, the health authorities said.

Meanwhile, Portugal also detected another nine cases — taking its toll to 23.

The Portuguese cases remain under clinical follow-up but none have been hospitalized as they are all stable, the health authority said.

In a statement this afternoon, Dr Kluge from the WHO said 'most' of the cases in Europe 'are so far mild'.

But he warned the illness 'can be more severe, especially in young children, pregnant women, and individuals who are immunocompromised'.

People with suspected monkeypox should be investigated and isolated as soon as they develop symptoms, Dr Kluge said.

Hand and respiratory hygiene and PPE are critical to reduce transmission in healthcare settings — 'the measures we have all been following for Covid', he said.

It comes as Germany today confirmed its first ever monkeypox case in a patient who had 'characteristic skin lesions' — a tell-tale sign of the illness.

Meanwhile, France last night confirmed a 29-year-old man in Paris had contracted the virus. He had not recently travelled, suggesting the virus is spreading in the community.

And Australia confirmed two cases, including one man in his thirties who had travelled from Britain to Melbourne with symptoms earlier this week.

Monkeypox cases are usually found in West Africa, and the virus does not often spread elsewhere.

That is why outbreaks reported across Europe, Canada, Australia and the United States have caused alarm among public health experts.
