North Macedonia's Institute of Public Health has announced the country’s first two confirmed cases of monkeypox.
Speaking at a press conference, the Institute’s Director, Marija Andonovska, stated—according to the news outlet Prot—that the two infected individuals are men born in 1985 and 1981, both residing in the capital, Skopje, with no connection between them. She also noted that neither of the men had traveled abroad recently.
Health Minister Jovica Andovski urged the public “not to panic,” reassuring citizens that the disease is not unknown and that there is an established treatment protocol in place.
