Another suspected case of monkeypox has been identified in India. A 38 year old man who has arrived from the UAE has been admitted to hospital after showing the symptoms of monkeypox.
The man from Kerala's Malappuram was admitted to the state-run Manjeri Medical College Hospital and has been isolated. The sample has been sent for testing to Kozhikode Medical College after which it will be confirmed if he has monkeypox or not. The testing can also determine the strain of the monkeypox. Health Minister Veena George said that the youth was isolated at home itself and we are awaiting the result of the sample of the suspected MPox case.
