The central government has directed airport, ports and border authorities to remain vigilant in response to the global rise in Mpox cases, according to sources.

“We had a meeting with states and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) last week. Point of entries are on alert. It’s a self limiting virus. There is no correlation of Mpox with COVID. Nodal officers are already in Hospitals.

Testing facilities are available at 32 ICMR centers. The symptoms of MPox are like of chickenpox,” sources said.

“Chances of mortality is high but their is Low chance to affect India. This disease occurs with rashes,” they added.

Earlier, PK Mishra, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Sunday, led a review meeting to assess the nation’s preparedness for Mpox. Enhanced surveillance measures are now in place to ensure prompt detection and response.
