There are at least seven recorded cases of Mpox, leaving many people more cautious than they were a month ago.
Mpox is an infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus that has the potential to cause a painful or itchy rash like pimples or blisters.
According to Caxton Network News, the health department said all Mpox patients had chronic illnesses, suggesting a high probability of being immunocompromised.
It urged those who were sickly to get treatment, while vaccines were being brought into the country.
