Question
What is the Welsh Government doing to increase public awareness of the risks of Mpox for people travelling to places where it is endemic, to ensure the virus is not brought into Wales?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Advice for UK travellers to countries affected by mpox is available from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office website and www.travelhealthpro.org.uk.
Public health messaging for Heathrow Airport and other key points of entry into the UK with transport links to affected regions is being developed by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and Welsh Government officials are working with UKHSA to ensure this is available at Cardiff Wales Airport.
