DOH said both cases are recorded to have Clade II, milder form of mpox virus.
Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is viral disease caused by monkeypox virus. Virus belongs to Orthopoxvirus genus, also includes variola virus causes smallpox.
Mpox is characterized by flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and exhaustion, followed by development of distinctive rash that progresses through several stages before forming scabs that eventually fall off.
Disease is primarily transmitted through close, personal, often skin-to-skin contact with infected person, including direct contact with mpox rash, scabs, or body fluids, as well as contact with objects, fabrics, and surfaces that have been used by someone with mpox.
While mpox is rarely fatal, it can cause severe complications in vulnerable populations, such as children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals.
DOH continues to monitor situation closely and urges public to remain vigilant and practice preventive measures to curb spread of virus.
