More cases of a deadly new strain of mpox have been detected in the UK - just days after the virus was recorded having breached Britain's shores for the first time.

Last week, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said one case of mpox variant Clade 1b had been picked up in London - but now, two more cases have been detected, also in the capital.
