The Ministry of Health has reported two new Mpox cases confirmed in the past 24 hours from Makueni and Kajiado counties, bringing the total to seven.

The ministry urged the public to follow preventive measures to control the virus's spread.
Barasa warned against touching items used by infected individuals, limiting the number of sexual partners, washing hands regularly and avoiding contact with wild animals.

Measures include enhanced surveillance, contact tracing, diagnostic testing and public awareness campaigns.
