Moroccan Minister of Health and Social Protection Khalid Ait Taleb revealed, in a statement to Hespress, that the results of the tests conducted on the three suspected cases of monkeypox were negative.
The three suspected monkeypox cases were identified in Casablanca, Beni Mellal, and Ain Harouda.
The Minister of Health confirmed, in the same statement, that Morocco is free from the virus up until this point, and there is no need to worry, noting that there is a similarity between monkeypox and other diseases in the country common to children, such as smallpox.
The official pointed out that monkeypox, which belongs to the same family of viruses that cause smallpox, is not a cause for concern, according to data provided by the World Health Organization.
Morocco announced this Monday its detection of 3 suspected cases, amid unexpected outbreaks across Europe, Canada and the US.
