Health authorities have heightened alertness across all airports and land ports as part of efforts to prevent the spread of the mpox virus. The Ministry of Health issued directives to strengthen surveillance and screening, particularly targeting passengers displaying symptoms associated with the virus. This move follows confirmation of mpox cases, including a variant potentially spreading beyond Africa. The government has urged the revival of robust monitoring systems at all entry points to curb potential outbreaks, with particular focus on travelers from affected regions.
