The examining doctor said that the minor had severe rash and itching on the skin. Some symptoms are also similar to monkeypox, based on which the sample has been sent for examination.
The Health Department has alerted all the people about the symptoms of monkeypox and preventive measures. Let us know, how can it be identified and prevented?
