Delhi has witnessed six cases of monkeypox so far. The latest is a young woman of African origin, who is in a stable condition, sources said

In five clinically confirmed cases of monkeypox in Delhi, according to a recent study, “no secondary complications or sexually transmitted infections” were noted, with the exception of hepatitis B virus in one case

After the fifth case of the viral disease in the national capital, India has now reported 10 monkeypox cases so far

On Wednesday, a Nigerian woman in her 30s, living in Delhi for over a month, tested positive for monkeypox, taking the capital’s tally to four. This is the country’s ninth case and the first case in a woman, with most cases being found in young men till date

This comes on a day when Delhi’s first case — a 34-year-old man from West Delhi’s Paschim Vihar — was discharged from the hospital after healing from the lesions

The suspected patient of monkeypox, who is admitted to the LNJP Hospital, had travelled abroad about a month ago

International travellers coming to the national capital with monkeypox symptoms like high fever and back pain will be sent to the LNJP Hospital from the airport, sources stated on Monday
