The first case in the U.S. of a more severe strain of monkeypox was reported in San Mateo County, the California Department of Public Health said.

The departures come three days after a scathing report was released that contains seven "sustained findings" against Sheriff Christina Corpus.

San Mateo County health officials have announced the nation’s first known case of a severe form of mpox that has fueled an outbreak of the disease across Eastern and Central Africa.
