The first confirmed case at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Attock was brought to Islamabad from Dubai on August 15, 2025, according to official reports.
Health officials mentioned that the individual showed signs of monkeypox when he arrived at the airport, leading basic health staff to immediately send him to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for additional assessment.
On August 18, the National Institutes of Health formally verified that the individual had been infected with monkeypox, and he is now undergoing home quarantine with medical oversight to avoid additional transmission.
Monkeypox is an uncommon virus that was first identified in monkeys and subsequently emerged in West Africa following the 1970s. In the past, the majority of infections were reported within Africa, although instances have also been recorded in Europe and the United States.
Specialists explained that monkeypox transmits through direct interaction and is less infectious than COVID-19. It can spread through damaged skin, airborne particles, or exposure to the eyes, nose, or mouth.
Common signs generally emerge between 7 and 14 days after exposure, featuring symptoms such as fever, head discomfort, joint soreness, tiredness, enlarged glands, and skin eruptions that often begin on the facial area before spreading throughout the body.
The virus may also spread via unguarded sexual activity, although not every individual acquires it in this manner. Officials recommend practicing physical separation and good sanitation to reduce the chances of getting infected.

Quetta – For the last two weeks, mobile internet access has been cut off throughout Balochistan, leading to significant challenges for students, independent workers, and e-commerce ventures. This interruption keeps affecting everyday activities, with no complete recovery expected yet.
As per local officials, the shutdown has been implemented because of safety issues and will continue until August 31. Authorities state that this action was taken to maintain public peace in critical regions of the province.
Residents highlight significant difficulties, particularly for students who cannot participate in virtual lessons, as well as independent workers whose income relies on consistent internet connectivity. Numerous individuals have urged the authorities to provide different options or limited recovery of services.
The Balochistan High Court has acknowledged the matter and instructed officials to review the complete prohibition. The judiciary has mandated the resumption of internet access in regions without any security risk, seeking to achieve harmony between safety measures and user accessibility.
Even though the court has issued instructions, complete internet connectivity is still not available across most areas of the province, resulting in numerous people being cut off from digital resources. Those impacted are calling on officials to take immediate action and explore localized approaches rather than implementing broad-scale restrictions.
