Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele says South Africa will stay on alert and take advice from the Department of Health regarding the Monkeypox virus that has been detected in the US and UK, outside Central and West Africa where it is usually found.
“The monkeypox is not yet with us but we continue to stay on the alert and as far as that is concerned, we await at all material times to get counsel from the Department of Health.
Gungubele was briefing the media on the outcomes of Cabinet’s meeting on Wednesday. The meeting also approved the publication of the Constitution’s Eighteenth Amendment Bill for comment which seeks to give recognition to the South African Sign Language as the country’s 12th official language.
Other issues discussed included government’s response to the KZN floods, the sustainable use of water by mines, German leader Olaf Scholz’s visit earlier this week and the upcoming Child Protection Week and Youth Month.
