This development comes amid a recent spike in infections, with 34 cases reported earlier in the week across 10 regions.

In response, the GHS is urging the public to report symptoms early and remain vigilant, particularly in areas where infections have been identified.

Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, is a viral illness characterized by symptoms such as fever, rash, headache, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes.

The disease spreads primarily through close contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces and objects.

The symptoms are fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes. The rash can progress from flat spots to blisters and then crusts over, whiles the severity is usually mild and self-limiting, with most individuals recovering within a few weeks.

However, it can cause serious illness and be fatal, particularly in certain individuals example, children, people with weakened immune systems.

The GHS is advising anyone who experiences these symptoms to seek immediate medical attention at the nearest health facility.

Health authorities have ramped up contact tracing and surveillance efforts in affected areas, with patients currently under close monitoring to prevent further transmission.

As a precaution, the public is reminded to avoid direct contact with symptomatic individuals and to practice good hygiene, especially regular handwashing.

According to the GHS, the situation remains under control, and all necessary measures are being taken to curb the spread of the virus.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation (WHO) is actively monitoring and responding to the Mpox outbreak, particularly the recent upsurge in cases, which has led to a revised set of temporary recommendations.

The WHO continues to classify the event as a public health emergency of international concern. They also emphasize the importance of preventative measures like vaccination, avoiding close contact with infected individuals, and proper hygiene.
