The Ondo Government says it already has a proactive measure in store to forestall outbreak of monkeypox in the state.
Dr Taiye Oni, the Permanent Secretary of the state Ministry of Health, made this known to Nigerians.
“We have started sensitisation by putting on field responsive surveillance team to make sure that any perceived case would be tackled.
“We should not forget about what we learnt on Lassa fever about personal hygiene and necessary precaution.
“The same procedure applies to the issue of monkey pox because we cannot prevent our people to travel as you all know that the scourge is reported in the neighbouring Ekiti,” he said.
