NOIDA: The samples of two suspected monkeypox cases tested negative on Friday, ruling out the viral infection for all four patients in NCR who had symptoms similar to the disease. Gautam Budh Nagar health department officials said they had sent the sample of a 47-year-old man, who lives in Noida’s Sector 126, to the King George Medical University in Lucknow. The test results were negative.
“The patient had a fever for the last five days with rashes on his body. He was advised home isolation, with basic medication to control the fever,” said district chief medical officer Dr Sunil Sharma.
