This is the first such finding since the World Health Organization (WHO) last month designated the current outbreak as a public health emergency of worldwide significance.

He is receiving treatment, according to the health ministry, and his status is stable.
Every person the man has interacted with is being tracked down by Moroccan authorities, who are also keeping an eye on their health. According to the statement issued on Thursday afternoon, none of them were exhibiting any symptoms.

To what extent should we worry about mpox?
The illness lasts for 14 to 21 days and can go away on its own.
However, in certain instances, it can be lethal, especially for susceptible populations like young infants.
In severe cases, the lips, eyes, and genitalia are particularly vulnerable to lesions that affect the entire body.
According to the WHO, treatment entails managing the rash, assisting with pain management, and averting consequences.
