The Minister also requested the public to seek treatment and inform the Health Department if they notice any of the known symptoms of Mpox.
Over a week ago, India had reported its first case in a man who had arrived from western Africa in Delhi. The man is stable and isolated to prevent the virus from spreading.
Last month the WHO declared Mpox a PHEIC, or Public Health Emergency of International Concern, based on the risk of spread of the current outbreak beyond Africa, where a rise in cases has been reported in many countries.
