Department of Health calls for vigilance as Monkeypox case detected in Gauteng

Health Minister Joe Phaahla is calling for the public to be on high alert following a reported case of Monkeypox.

A 35-year-old patient from Gauteng tested positive last week.

Mpox is not highly transmissible from person to person.
