A task force on the monkeypox virus will be constituted to provide guidance to the government on expansion of diagnostic facilities and explore emerging trends related to vaccination for the disease, official sources said on Thursday.
The decision was taken at a high-level meeting held on June 26 at the level of Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister to review the ongoing public health preparedness and response initiatives against the spread of monkeypox, the sources told PTI.
India has so far reported four cases of monkeypox, with three from Kerala and one from Delhi.
