Monkeypox is on the rise in North Carolina

But let’s face it, a lot of people have COVID fatigue and have largely ignored this latest health crisis in North Carolina and here in the Triangle. WRAL Reporter Joe Fisher has been a leader in reporting on Monkeypox in the Raleigh-Durham area. His reporting has even prompted health leaders here in Wake County to take action. In this episode Joe shares with us the scope of the problem and how he believes it will play out. For more information on our coverage go to: https://www.wral.com/monkeypox/20291342/
