JOHOR BARU: Johor has directed its Health Department to get in touch with Singapore’s health authorities following the first case of monkeypox in the island republic.

State Health and Unity Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said while no such cases have been detected in Malaysia just yet, preparations are being made to ensure there is no outbreak of the virus locally.

“They are supposed to flag the Health Ministry on travellers with monkeypox symptoms while those without are advised to download the MySejahtera app to monitor their health for the next 14 days upon arrival,” he told reporters outside the state assembly sitting on Wednesday . The patient, a 42-year-old British man who works as a flight attendant, tested positive and had flown in and out of Singapore around mid-June.

He said the Health Ministry has also given the necessary standard operating procedures to respond accordingly if such cases are detected locally.
