The World Health Organization and the Borno state government are implementing measures to stop the spread of Monkeypox following the outbreak of the disease in the state with four confirmed cases.
Part of the measures is through a sensitization program to communities in Borno on the dangers of the epidemic and ways to contain the spread of the virus.
The confirmation of four cases of monkeypox in Borno by the state primary healthcare development agency reveals how vulnerable the state is to the disease.

Health personnel from WHO embarked on a house-to-house campaign in the state.
The move is to create awareness on how best to prevent diseases such as monkeypox, cholera, and the Covid-19 Pandemic.
They pledged to do everything possible to contain the spread of the disease.
The exercise would be taking place across four local council areas of the state with 30 Adhoc workers who are to sensitize 60 households a day for the period of one month.
A clean environment will go a long way in containing the spread of infectious diseases, especially during this rainy season, the world health organization advised Borno communities.
