The Swedish Public Health Agency has issued new travel recommendations in response to the spread of mpox.

Travelers returning to Sweden from areas with active mpox outbreaks are advised to monitor for symptoms such as painful blisters and sores for three weeks.

If symptoms appear, individuals should seek medical advice immediately.

The agency emphasizes the importance of avoiding close contact, particularly sexual contact, in affected regions.

State epidemiologist Magnus Gisslén highlights the need for vigilance, stating that mpox is a serious disease and the situation is being closely monitored.

Recommendations may change rapidly as the situation evolves.
