Mpox is a viral disease transmitted through close contact with infected individuals, animals, or contaminated materials. Common symptoms include fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, back pain, headaches, and fatigue.
In response, health authorities are urging the public to observe strict preventive measures. These include frequent handwashing, avoiding physical contact with symptomatic individuals, especially those with unexplained rashes, and reporting suspected cases to the nearest health facility without delay.
The GHS has heightened surveillance and public education efforts nationwide to contain the spread of the virus.
