Sierra Leone Mpox Monitoring and Public Health Measures Update
New mpox surveillance and containment guidance issued for Sierra Leone.
Updated national guidance for mpox surveillance and case management has been issued in Sierra Leone, reinforcing infection control protocols and community outreach ahead of the rainy season. The document emphasizes rapid isolation of suspected cases, community-based contact tracing, and targeted messaging around symptoms and transmission routes. Local health workers are being retrained to ensure early detection and notification, while public information campaigns are set to resume in high‑density urban neighborhoods and border districts. The update does not indicate a spike in case numbers but reflects ongoing efforts to maintain low transmission levels after the 2025 outbreak.
