The Federal Government has said the
Monkeypox virus has spread to 11 states with 74 suspected cases as against
seven states and 33 cases recorded on October 11.
Minister of Health, Prof.
Isaac Adewole, stated this yesterday when he briefed State House Correspondents
on the outcome of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting presided over by
President Muhammadu Buhari, at the State House Council Chamber, Abuja.
Adewole, who, three days ago, said
there were only three confirmed cases, listed the 11 affected states as Akwa
Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Ekiti, Enugu, Imo, Lagos, Nasarawa and
Rivers. He, however, dismissed rumours that
the virus was being spread by the military through vaccination.
