He spoke to Channel 2’s Ashli Lincoln exclusively through Zoom after being diagnosed with the monkeypox virus by doctors at Emory.

He says he suspects he got the virus from his job at Six Flags Over Georgia.

He says the park has done a great job with sanitizing in recent months, but he suspects he touched a surface or object after a co-worker who appeared to have the monkeypox virus.

The DPH says touching items like clothing or linens that previously touched the rash or body fluids is one way monkeypox spreads but has not been identified as a common mode of transmission in this outbreak or for monkeypox in general.

The DPH says 90% of the cases are contracted through skin-to-skin contact.

The Six Flags employee says he’s in the process of alerting management.

The amusement park sent us a statement earlier Friday afternoon saying they’re unaware of any confirmed monkeypox cases.

The state’s Department of Health says 90% of the cases are contracted through skin-to-skin contact.
