Mpox, also known as Monkeypox, is a viral infection transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces.
Common symptoms include fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes.
Health officials urge the public to remain vigilant, follow hygiene protocols, and promptly report any suspected symptoms to healthcare providers.
The Ghana Health Service has intensified public awareness efforts and is working with local health facilities to ensure preparedness for potential cases.
Additional resources have been mobilised to track other contacts, especially in affected communities.
