"Prevent Undue Panic": Centre's Advisory To States On Mpox | Read
The government on Monday recommended screening and testing of all suspected Mpox, or monkeypox patients, and isolation of confirmed cases, as well as contact tracing to "prevent and/or minimise risk of any case or death due to Mpox in the country".
States and union territories have been urged to identify hospitals to prep isolation facilities and stand ready to receive suspected and confirmed cases, which will need increased resources.
It is "crucial", the government also said to guard against "undue panic amongst the masses".
