Health NZ has confirmed six more cases of mpox linked to Queenstown's Winter Pride festival, bringing the total to 11.
Cases were first reported at the festival, which ran from August 20 to September 1.
An additional case that has been reported was someone who contracted the disease overseas.
Health NZ's Dr Emma Sherwood said anyone experiencing symptoms, especially a rash, should seek medical advice.
The virus in the Winter Pride cluster is clade II, and not linked to recent clade I cases in Africa.
There are two types of mpox, known as clade I and clade II.
Both have caused current outbreaks in African countries, witha recent increase in clade I cases in Africa leading to the World Health Organisation recently declaring a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
Symptoms of mpox usually show up between one and three weeks after exposure. Most people with mpox develop a rash or other skin change, known as lesions.
