HARARE — Zimbabwe has confirmed its first two cases of mpox, the health ministry said on Sunday, without specifying which variant had been recorded.The first case was detected in an 11-year-old boy who developed symptoms last month after traveling to South Africa, the statement said. The second case was in a 24-year-old man who fell ill after traveling to Tanzania, it said.Both patients are recovering and contact tracing is underway, the statement said.
The World Health Organization in August declared mpox a global public health emergency for the second time in two years, as a new variant of the viral infection spread from Democratic Republic of Congo to neighboring African countries.The new "clade 1b" variant has caused global concern as it seems to spread more easily though routine close contact.
