13 additional Mpox cases have been confirmed by the Ghana Health Service (GHS), bringing the total number of cases in the nation to 993 as of January 25.
Recent weeks have seen a consistent increase in infections recorded, which has sparked new worries about public health, according to the most recent data.
The GHS reports that there were no additional deaths linked to the illness during the most recent reporting period, with the death toll remaining at seven.
Health officials have reaffirmed that close personal contact, particularly skin-to-skin contact and contact with bodily fluids, is the main way that Mpox spreads.
Fever, headaches, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, and skin rashes that could turn into lesions are typical signs of the illness.
To stop the spread of illness, the Ghana Health Service has advised the public to maintain proper personal cleanliness, stay away from suspected cases, and report symptoms as soon as possible to the closest medical facility.
