Malappuram, Sep 17
A 38-year-old man who arrived from the UAE last week is put under observation for suspected MPox.
The man from Edavana near here arrived from UAE last week.
After a few days, he developed rashes and also had fever. On Monday, he was admitted to the state-run Manjeri Medical College Hospital and has been isolated.
A sample has now gone for testing to Kozhikode Medical College and results are awaited.
Doctors treating the patient said that his fever has come down.
Health Minister Veena George said that the youth was isolated at home itself and we are awaiting the result of the sample of the suspected MPox case.
George is in Malappuram overseeing the coordination of authorities after a 23-year-old student from the district passed away last Monday and only the other day, the sample tested positive for Nipah.
