The United States had reported over 1,000 confirmed monkeypox cases in 43 states as of Wednesday, according to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
California had the most cases, with 161, followed by New York with 159 and Illinois with 152, CDC data showed.
