The health ministry of Indonesia will host a virtual news conference on Saturday to announce the discovery of the first verified case of monkeypox in the nation, according to an invitation sent by the ministry to Reuters.
The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. (1000 GMT). Neighbouring Singapore reported its first case of monkeypox last month.
