PATNA: The sample of a 20-year-old man, who had returned to Aurangabad from New Delhi recently, tested negative for monkeypox, confirmed Aurangabad district magistrate (DM) Saurabh Jorwal on Monday. "His sample was sent to AIIMS-Delhi for monkeypox test on Sunday and it has come negative," he said.
The man had symptoms like rashes, fever and extreme weakness, and he was isolated at his home. It was the second sample from the state sent for the monkeypox test. The first sample of a 22-year-old youth from Gaya was also sent to AIIMS-Delhi on August 2 and that too had come negative.
