Four new cases of Monkeypox have been reported in New Zealand, taking the total number of cases to nine.

The four cases, all reported in the past seven days, have all recently returned from overseas.

"Three are isolating in the Auckland region, and one in the South Island, following a positive test result," the Ministry of Health and Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand said in a statement.

"Significantly, in all four cases, there is no current evidence of community transmission and public health staff have assessed the risk of transmission from the cases as low."
