GEORGETOWN, Guyana– Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony confirmed that Guyana had recorded a second case of the Monkeypox virus.
But while he provided no details of the new case during his daily Ministry of Health Update on the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, media reports suggest that the second infected person is a woman in her 30s. She has no recent travel history.
Last week, Guyana became the latest Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country to report a case of the Monkeypox virus after a 57-year-old man from Region Four (Demerara- Mahaica) had been hospitalized.
The man has been isolated, and health authorities said they are conducting contact tracing and testing.
The virus symptoms include a rash that initially looks like pimples or blisters and may be painful or itchy. Other symptoms of Monkeypox can consist of fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, exhaustion, muscle aches and backache, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough.
So far, the virus has been detected in Bermuda, Bahamas, Barbados, and Jamaica.
