Suspected monkeypox infection reported from Malappuram in Kerala

A district health official said that the patient arrived in Kerala a few days ago and, after falling sick, was first admitted to a private hospital. From there he was admitted to the Manjeri Medical College. His samples were sent to the Kozhikode Medical College for testing. A new case was reported last week after a 26-year-old resident of Haryana's Hisar tested positive for the virus and was admitted to Delhi government-run LNJP Hospital.
