LUSAKA, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- Zambia has confirmed three new mpox cases, bringing the total number to seven, authorities said on Thursday.

Minister of Health Elijah Muchima said in a press briefing that the new cases were detected between Jan. 10 and 16, with two cases from the capital city Lusaka, and one from the Copperbelt province.

The ministry has intensified investigations and contact tracing in the affected areas to control the spread of the disease, while also launching awareness campaigns in communities, said the minister.
