The Ogun State Commissioner for Health, Dr Tomi Coker, has said that the state has not recorded any confirmed cases of Mpox across its twenty local government areas. She however noted that the state had recorded 151 suspected cases of Mpox, but none had been confirmed as positive.

Speaking to newsmen in Abeokuta, the ogun state capital, the Commissioner affirmed that the state has maintained a high level of surveillance since the global outbreak in 2022.

The Commissioner urged residents to avoid close contact with individuals showing symptoms, particularly those with rashes or skin lesions, as the disease is highly contagious.
