Zimbabwe's health ministry officially reported its first two cases of mpox. The announcement was made without disclosing the variant, leaving questions about the nature of the outbreak. Though this denotes a significant event for Zimbabwe, further details such as the patients' locations, demographic information, or the infection's impact remain sparse, creating uncertainty about the country's handling of the situation.
