Kazakhstan has tightened border
control measures due to the monkeypox outbreak, particularly at airports and
border crossings. Special attention is given to travelers arriving from
countries with reported cases. The Kazakh Health Ministry outlined the steps
being taken to prevent the spread of the infection and confirmed that there are
currently no cases of monkeypox in the country. Medical professionals recommend
that Kazakh citizens take precautions when traveling to endemic countries,
including avoiding contact with infected individuals and wild animals, wearing
protective clothing and gloves when interacting with wildlife, and maintaining
personal hygiene. If symptoms such as a rash or high fever appear, individuals
are advised to seek medical attention. It is worth noting that the World Health
Organization (WHO) has declared the monkeypox epidemic a public health
emergency of international concern.
