Kenya is facing a growing Mpox outbreak, with 19 people having died and 1,298 cases recorded since the outbreak was confirmed.
The figures point to the continuing spread of the virus, prompting health authorities to maintain efforts to monitor and contain infections across the country.
The latest statistics come as health officials continue to warn communities about the risks associated with Mpox and the importance of taking precautions to limit transmission.
Mpox is primarily spread through close contact with an infected person and can cause symptoms including fever, swollen lymph nodes and a characteristic skin rash.
The rising number of infections and deaths is placing renewed focus on Kenya’s public health response as authorities work to prevent further transmission.
The Ministry of Health continues to monitor the situation and is expected to provide further updates as the outbreak develops.
