GHS confirms second Mpox case

Ghana has confirmed a second case of Mpox (Monkeypox), involving the mother of a 15-year-old boy diagnosed last month.

Health officials are monitoring both cases closely to prevent further spread.

Dr. Dennis Laryea from the Ghana Health Service reassured the public that necessary precautions are in place.

Mpox primarily spreads through direct contact, with symptoms including fever and rash.

Authorities urge vigilance, hygiene adherence, and prompt reporting of symptoms.

Public awareness campaigns are being intensified, and additional resources are mobilized to monitor contacts in affected communities.
