The arrival of monkey pox in Belgium is linked to a fetish festival in Antwerp

Three cases might actually be linked to the festival by the authorities, they said. The Risk Assessment Group (RAG) of the federal authorities has asked the organizers of Darklands to inform all participants. The greatest vigilance is recommended to them, since the virus has an incubation period of 21 days. In case of symptoms, you should go to the emergency room as soon as possible.

The festival took place from May 4 to 9 in Antwerp. This is one of the largest gay men’s events in the world.
