BALER, Aurora — The Provincial Government of Aurora has confirmed that one resident has fully recovered from monkeypox (Mpox), marking a positive step in the province’s ongoing efforts to manage the disease.
According to the Provincial Health Office (PHO), the patient, a resident of San Luis, has now fully recovered after previously testing positive for Mpox.
Meanwhile, five other individuals are currently under monitoring and isolation as they await confirmatory test results. These cases are suspected but not yet officially confirmed.
The PHO noted that the data covers the period from 1 January to 30 May, and reassuringly, there have been no new confirmed cases during that time.
In light of this, the provincial government is encouraging residents to stay calm but vigilant. They’re urging everyone to prioritize their health, look after each other, and immediately report any symptoms or suspected cases to local health authorities.
“We assure the public of intensified coordination and immediate action to ensure everyone’s safety,” the PHO said, emphasizing their commitment to swift action and tighter coordination.
Efforts to prevent the spread of Mpox are ongoing, with the PHO working closely with the Department of Health and local government units across Aurora to keep communities safe.
As the situation continues to be closely monitored, officials remind the public that early reporting and responsible health practices are key to keeping the province Mpox-free.
