Now 19 Nations In Africa Have Seen Current Outbreak Mpox Cases — Latest, In Mauritius — A Man Traveling From Nigeria…

So… these are the inflections moments… when things feel… a little discouraging.

A 49 year old man who traveled recently from Nigeria — and landed in Mauritius — is now in hospital in Port Louis, the capital. CIDRAP (again!) has the scoop, thus:

…Mauritius on October 26 announced its first mpox case, which involves a 49-year-old man who had traveled from Nigeria, according to a government announcement translated and posted by FluTrackers, an infectious disease news message board. The patient is being treated in isolation at a hospital in Port Louis.

The report didn’t note the clade of the virus. The country’s case brings the number of African nations reporting mpox cases this year to 19….

Now you know. Onward — to an otherwise wonderful week ahead. Grin.
