The Public Health Authority (Weqaya) announced on Saturday that no cases of monkeypox (mpox) clade 1, the strain responsible for the recent public health emergency, have been detected in the Kingdom.

Despite the worldwide rise in mpox cases, which the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency of international concern, the Kingdom remains unaffected.

Weqaya emphasized the strength and effectiveness of the Kingdom's health sector, which is well-prepared to confront different health risks.

The Kingdom has taken comprehensive preventive measures to enhance monitoring, prevent the spread of the virus, and protect the population.

Preventive strategies include awareness campaigns, epidemiological investigations, and a coordinated response to infectious diseases with an epidemiological impact. These measures are designed to ensure rapid and effective responses to any potential outbreaks.

Weqaya also urged the public to rely on official sources of information and avoid rumors.

The public is advised to practice healthy behaviors and to avoid traveling to countries where mpox outbreaks have been reported.
