Ang Mpox ay nakakahawang sakit na kumakalat sa pamamagitan ng direktang pagdikit sa balat, pagtalsik ng likido mula sa bibig o ilong, at pagdikit sa mga kontaminadong bagay.
Ang pangunahing sintomas ng Mpox ay pantal o blisters sa balat, kasabay ng lagnat, pananakit ng katawan, pamamaga ng kulani, at panghihina.
Mahalagang magpakonsulta agad kung may sintomas. Ugaliin ang kalinisan, paghuhugas ng kamay, at pag-iwas sa matataong lugar upang maprotektahan ang sarili at komunidad.
Manatiling mapagbantay at sundin ang prescribed minimum health protocols.
