The Lao Ministry of Health has confirmed the first case of monkeypox in the country, urging health officials nationwide to stay on the alert for more cases of the virus, reported Xinhua.
The ministry said more cases could be detected in Laos because of the high number of people travelling to other countries, including those where cases of the virus have been reported. The ministry has advised staff at government and private hospitals and clinics to test for monkeypox in anyone presenting with fever and an unexplained acute rash. If the virus is suspected, a swab taken from a skin lesion must be sent to the National Centre for Laboratory and Epidemiology for analysis.
