All three cases of the Monkey pox virus are in home isolation and do not require hospital care at this time.
Mpox is a self-limiting disease in most instances, and it is commonly spread by close contact with a positive case.
With three cases to date, Trinidad and Tobago is now the 113th country to record active cases, with most cases occurring in the Americas and Europe.
Additionally, 2,800 doses of the vaccine were procured to be administered to non-symptomatic close contacts and health care professionals in any facility where a patient would be warded.
To date, no vaccines have been administered.
The Ministry of Health through its health surveillance network will continue to monitor the current cases of Mpox locally, regionally, and internationally.
Furthermore, the Ministry will continue to update the public with all relevant information whilst adhering to the principles of patient confidentiality.
