Jordanian health ministry records mpox case for a non-Jordanian resident, state news agency says


CAIRO, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Jordan's health ministry has recorded an mpox case for a non-Jordanian resident, state news agency Petra said on Monday, adding that the case was currently in isolation.
 
The health ministry said the case was not the first for the kingdom, as it recorded one back in 2022.
 
The ministry said the case was a 33-year-old male, without identifying his nationality.
