THE Department of Health (DOH) said no additional case of monkeypox has been recorded after the first patient is on the 21st day of isolation.
At the press briefing, DOH officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said the 31-year-old patient could be discharged once given the go-signal by the doctor on Saturday.
“On his 21st day of isolation today so bukas iki-clear na siya ng doctor kung pwede na idischarge at pag nadischarge na siya pwede na siyang makipaginteract with his family and everybody dahil natapos na niya yung isolation, magaling na siya,” Vergeire said.
(The patient is the 21st day of isolation today. Tomorrow, the patients can be discharged and interact with the family if the doctor says so, and because the isolation is completed.)
“Yung mga lesions niya are completely healed already. Yung mga close contacts patuloy na binabantayan katulad nung sabi natin they are required to complete their 21 days quarantine period. Magbibigay tayo ng information pagsila nakatapos na ng 21 day quarantine,” she added.
