A second case of monkeypox has been detected in SA, the national health department reported on Tuesday.

Phaahla called for the public to observe good hygiene practices and other preventive measures which proved to be effective against Covid-19 and other infectious diseases to prevent the spread of the virus.“Health officials will continue with contact tracing while closely monitoring the situation and alert clinicians on symptoms to look for.

He said while the World Health Organisation has not recommended travel restrictions because of the monkeypox outbreak, it was important for travellers to endemic countries to alert health officials on the situation to enable them to provide guidance for case detection and management. Meanwhile, port health officials continue with multilayered screening measures which include visual observation, temperature screening and completion and analysis of travellers’ health questionnaires when entering the country through ports of entry for early detection and successful treatment.

Members of the public who experience symptoms similar to monkeypox are urged to report to their nearest healthcare facility for early detection and successful treatment.
