Additionally, eight cases were found in individuals aged 31-40, seven cases in those aged 41-50, and one case in a person above 50.

Since the re-emergence of Mpox in September 2017, the NCDC said it has reported 4,752 suspected cases, with 1,141 confirmed cases (24%) and 17 deaths across 35 states and the FCT.

The agency noted that the National Mpox Emergency Operation Centre continues to coordinate responses across the country in collaboration with multi-sectoral and multi-partner efforts.

Mpox, a viral disease similar to smallpox but generally less severe, causes symptoms such as fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes.

It spreads from animals to humans and between humans through close contact, respiratory droplets, or contaminated objects.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Mpox a global public health emergency in August.
