In its previous update on August 7, 2025, the GHS advised the public to remain vigilant, avoid close contact with individuals exhibiting symptoms, and promptly report any suspected cases to the nearest health facility.

The Service noted that it is working with regional directorates to trace contacts and coordinate the national response.

The public has been advised to practise good hygiene, avoid close contact with symptomatic individuals, refrain from touching rashes or body fluids, use protective gear when caring for the sick, and report suspected cases to health facilities.

Mpox is a viral disease transmitted to humans through close contact with an infected person, animal or contaminated materials.

Symptoms include rash, fever, headaches, muscle aches, back pain, low energy, and swollen lymph nodes.

The GHS recommends frequent handwashing with soap and water or hand sanitiser, wearing masks, covering lesions around others, keeping skin dry and exposed, disinfecting shared spaces, and using saltwater rinses for oral sores.

In August last year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to the emergence of a new variant in Africa.

Currently, more than 13 African countries have reported Mpox cases.

It is the second time in two years that the WHO has issued this alert.

As of last year, over 17,000 suspected cases and 517 deaths were reported on the continent, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

The WHO has approved the use of an Mpox vaccine, expected to facilitate “timely and increased access” for those at risk, especially in Africa, where more than 20,000 infections have been reported.
