Mary Malisi, a businesswoman crossing the Kenya-Uganda border, highlighted the increased health measures post-mpox declaration, emphasizing she undergoes testing and hand washing protocols.
Health officials in Kenya and Uganda have ramped up surveillance at border crossings like Malaba, which is a crucial transit point for thousands, due to rising mpox fears.
The first recorded mpox case at Malaba involved a truck driver from the DRC, whose journey raised alarms for health officials, prompting immediate responses in border health measures.
Despite historic familiarity with health screenings during crises like COVID-19, travelers like Malisi are keenly aware of the rising mpox threats and the protocols being implemented.
