Common symptoms of Mpox include fever, body rash, swollen lymph nodes, and muscle aches.
Authorities stressed that early detection and immediate medical reporting are critical to containing the outbreak.
The GHS also reassured the public that it is actively monitoring the situation and collaborating with partners to enhance disease surveillance, increase public awareness, and provide appropriate medical care.
