Ghana has recorded 34 new cases of Mpox, pushing the total number of confirmed infections to 79, according to health authorities.
Officials from the Ghana Health Service (GHS) report that four patients are currently in admission and under close observation. In response, contact tracing efforts have intensified in a bid to contain the spread of the disease.
The recent surge in cases has sparked concern among the public. However, health authorities have moved to allay fears, assuring citizens that the situation remains under control and that there is no cause for alarm.
In the wake of the outbreak, the GHS urges the public to adopt preventive measures, including maintaining good personal hygiene, avoiding close contact with individuals exhibiting symptoms, especially those with unexplained rashes, and seeking prompt medical attention if symptoms appear.
