The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has confirmed 26 new cases of Mpox, bringing the total number of infections across the country to 45.
The new cases were reported as of May 31, 2025, and were announced by the Ministry of Health in an update shared on its Facebook page on Tuesday, June 3.
Although the number of confirmed cases has increased sharply, no deaths have been recorded. Two people are currently receiving treatment.
The rise in case numbers has been attributed to more active surveillance and improved contact tracing, which are helping to detect and isolate infections more quickly within communities.
Health authorities have urged the public to continue observing basic safety practices.
These include avoiding close contact with anyone showing symptoms, maintaining good hygiene, and visiting the nearest health facility if any symptoms appear.
The GHS said regular public updates will be provided every Tuesday on its official social media pages.
Officials have called for public cooperation to help contain the outbreak.
