ANI. “Not even a single #monkeypox case in Tamil Nadu. Fake news is circulating on social media that 4 monkeypox cases confirmed in Nagercoil.
Don't believe fake news. If we find any such case, we'll tell media to make people aware of the disease", State Health Minister Ma Subramanian told news agency ANI.
Monkeypox cases have breached the Indian boundary when three cases were confirmed in India's Kerala. One another case was later confirmed in national capital New Delhi.
Since three cases were confirmed in Kerala, the Tamil Nadu authorities have stepped up their surveillance, especially in border areas with Kerala.
