Gurugram health department issues alert in area over possible Mpox outbreak

Aug 25, 2024..

Gurugram/IBNS: The Gurugram health department has issued an alert about a potential outbreak of Mpox in the district.


An advisory has been released urging residents to exercise caution, particularly those returning from international travel, according to health officials.

Mpox or monkeypox is an infectious viral disease that can turn serious and even fatal in some cases.

The disease is generally treatable with supportive care, and most people recover fully. Its symptoms are fever, rashes, or swollen lymph nodes.

According to health officials, the incubation period for Mpox typically ranges from seven to 14 days but can vary from five to 21 days.

An infected individual is usually not contagious during this period but the disease can be transmitted from one to two days before the appearance of the rash and remains contagious until all scabs have fallen off.

“Any patient presenting with Mpox-like symptoms must be reported to our office immediately. A nodal officer has been appointed to oversee the situation, and public awareness efforts regarding the disease are underway. If any person exhibits symptoms such as fever, rashes, or swollen lymph nodes, they should be isolated from the general population. Samples must be sent for testing, and treatment should be initiated promptly,” said Dr Virender Yadav, CMO.
