Claim: The World Health Organization is imposing or recommending the lockdowns to address the rising mpox cases. India is among countries preparing for a lockdown

Verdict: who has debunked the rumours, saying it has neither the authority nor any plan to recommend lockdowns and that the disease can be controlled by "ensuring surveillance, good clinic care and access to other countermeasures." no plans for a lockdown in india either.
