Zimbabwe has confirmed its first two cases of mpox, days after Zambia reported its first case. The cases, whose variants have not been identified, were detected in people who were from or had travelled to Tanzania and South Africa.
The cases in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare and in the southern town of Mberengwa, were detected in a child who developed symptoms last month after travelling to South Africa, and in a 24-year-old man who became ill after traveling to Tanzania, the health ministry said in a statement, without identifying which variants had been recorded.
