Claim: Photo shows the first case of Monkeypox in Singapore in 2024.
Fact-check: An old photo of Monkeypox patient shared as showing a recent outbreak in Singapore - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral photo is old. it shows a severe monkeypox case from 11 october 2022, in mexico. mexican specialist josé hiram hernández jerónimo confirmed it, noting the patient had over 250 sores and a weakened immune system. this confirms that the photo has no connection to singapore. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
