Chavan has called for strict screening at Mumbai airport, one of the busiest airports in the country, to ensure that travelers entering the country are not infected with the virus. He has also demanded that quarantining measures be put in place to isolate individuals who test positive for the virus.
Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that is usually found in the tropical rainforests of Central and West Africa. The disease is characterized by symptoms such as fever, headache, and a rash, and can be fatal in severe cases.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported over 1,000 cases of Monkeypox globally, with the majority of cases reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The organization has warned that the outbreak has the potential to spread rapidly, and has urged countries to take immediate action to prevent the spread of the disease.
In India, the government has taken steps to prevent the spread of the disease, including screening travelers at airports and setting up quarantine facilities. However, Chavan has urged the government to take more stringent measures to prevent the spread of the disease.
