Jalisco Reports Two New Monkeypox Cases After 14 Weeks Without Infections

PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – After a lull of 14 weeks with no reported infections, the Jalisco Ministry of Health has confirmed two new cases of monkeypox, bringing the state’s total case count to 407. Both patients are currently in an active status, a period in which the virus can be transmitted, and have been put under home isolation.

Despite the rise in cases, the number of deaths confirmed from monkeypox remains at two. As a response, the Jalisco Ministry of Health (SSJ) continues to promote preventive measures and offers telephone assistance via the Jalisco Health Line at 33-3823-3220. This hotline provides both advice on suitable courses of action and directions to appropriate medical facilities.

Up until now, 777 health consultations have been provided. This figure includes both telephone inquiries for general information and in-person clinical evaluations at medical units, health centers, and metropolitan hospitals.

As per residence demographics, the confirmed cases are mostly concentrated in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area with 321 instances, 65 in other municipalities of Jalisco, two from other Mexican states treated in Jalisco, and 19 from other countries.

Interestingly, a vast majority of the patients are male, accounting for 98.3% of cases, while females make up a mere 1.7%.

For those experiencing symptoms or seeking further information, resources include state medical units, metropolitan hospitals such as Hospital General de Occidente in Zapopan and the Civil Hospitals of Guadalajara “Fray Antonio Alcalde” and “Dr. Juan I. Menchaca”. Additionally, the Service Module in Puerto Vallarta is open for consultations. Telephone services are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. through Jalisco Health Line 33-3823-3220 and UIES 33 3030-5000 ext. 35059 and 35072.

In May, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the end of the international health emergency due to monkeypox. However, with new cases appearing in Jalisco, the fight against this virus continues. The SSJ remains vigilant in its preventive measures and continues to work tirelessly to control the spread of monkeypox.
