🚨 Jordan’s Health Ministry confirmed the country’s first mpox case of 2024 on Monday, signaling renewed vigilance against the viral disease. The patient, a 33-year-old non-Jordanian resident, developed a telltale mpox rash and tested positive during a lab screening. He’s now isolated at Amman’s Al Basheer Hospitals in stable condition.
🌡️ Health officials emphasized they’re tracking the situation closely under a pre-approved national response plan. This follows Jordan’s 2022 mpox case (then called monkeypox), though authorities assured they’re 'prepared for any developments.'
🔍 While risks remain low, the ministry urged transparency, vowing not to withhold case updates. For travelers and residents: keep calm but stay informed! 🌍 Medical teams are coordinating with global guidelines to ensure safety across borders.
