“Samples were taken on the 22nd of July 2022 for confirmation at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research in Accra. We received feedback on the 28th of July, 2022 indicating the sample tested positive for the Monkeypox disease.”

He explained that the 13 contacts are currently being monitored but added that no additional case of Monkeypox has been recorded as of July 31, 2022.
