There are currently no reported cases of Monkeypox in India even though cautionary measures will be put in place to prevent and control the spread of the disease, the Union health ministry said on Saturday.
These nine states and union territories are Haryana, Kerala, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir.
Experts also feel that north Indians could be succumbing to the vector-borne disease because of their "low immunity" to it.
If you have fever over 105 degree Fahrenheit, experience sweating and fatigue, it could be signs of malaria, warns Dr Ajay Aggarwal.
