What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The Ministry of Health said no new mpox cases have been reported in Kenya, but is closely monitoring the confirmed case, involving a long-distance truck driver, who traveled from Kampala, the Ugandan capital, to the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa, then to Rwanda through Taita Taveta in southeast Kenya and Tanzania.

Mary Muthoni, principal secretary in the Ministry of Health, said in a statement issued in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, that the truck driver has now returned to Kenya, prompting an extensive contact tracing effort.

The ministry is tracing all close contacts of the truck driver along his travel itinerary within the country, to identify any possible new cases, and prevent further transmission.

Muthoni said the ministry is also monitoring the evolution of outbreaks in neighboring countries, to assess the risks of regional transmissions, and adjust response measures accordingly.

The ministry has also released emergency hotline numbers for the public, to report suspected cases and seek further information on the outbreak.
