A 69-year-old man from the municipality of Dragash in Kosovo contacted the Infectious Diseases Clinic on Friday after showing symptoms of the monkeypox virus, reported local media KosovaPress.
The man was hospitalized and taken samples that will be sent to a lab in order to confirm whether he is positive for the virus.
According to the Health Ministry, the patient is in a stable condition but is under continuous monitoring and put in isolation, while authorities are tracing his close contacts.
“The sample will be taken to a lab of the World Health Organizations in the Netherlands and we will expect the official results before we present the diagnosis”, the Health Ministry said in a statement.
