The Central government has constituted a task force in the wake of Monkeypox cases in India to monitor and provide guidance on the expansion of diagnostic facilities and to explore vaccination for the infection in the country. This came a day after the country reported first death of an individual who was tested positive for Monkeypox.
The decision was taken during a meeting attended by senior officials recently. The team will be headed by V.K. Paul, member (Health), NITI Aayog, and will have senior officials from the health ministry and government. The National Institute of Virology (NIV) in Pune on Monday confirmed the death of a 22-year-old man from Thrissur in Kerala as the first case of monkeypox fatality in the country.
