According to reports, the central government has ordered border, port, and airport officials to maintain vigilance in reaction to the worldwide increase in Mpox cases. "We have alerted airports, ports, and borders with bangladesh and Pakistan," official sources told ANI.
 
Safdarjung Hospital, ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, and Lady Hardinge Hospital are three of the key hospitals that will have isolation facilities." Sources claim that the Union health Ministry met with specialists over the current viral outbreak that "is different" from the one that caused the last monkeypox outbreak. "We met last week with the National Centers for Disease Control (NCDC) and the states. Alert points are present. The virus is self-limiting. There is no connection between COVID and mpox. Hospitals already have nodal officials on staff. At 32 ICMR centers, testing facilities are provided. The symptoms of MPox resemble those of chickenpox, according to authorities.
 
"While there is a high chance of mortality, india is not likely to be affected." Rashes are a symptom of this illness," they continued. Before this, on Sunday, prime minister Narendra Modi's principal secretary, PK Mishra, chaired a review meeting to evaluate the country's Mpox readiness. To guarantee timely discovery and action, enhanced surveillance methods have been implemented. The high-level conference was informed that there are currently no documented cases of Mpox in the nation. The current evaluation is that there is little chance of a significant epidemic with ongoing transmission.
