that includes other diseases and conditions such as cholera, Ebola, measles, rabies, shellfish poisoning and typhoid.the most recent additions come because they're viewed as emerging issues.
Mpox, previously known as monkey pox, is something that previously fit the latter category because, although it's a known disease, it had not previously been seen in Canada. "We want to actually build it into the regulations and that helps it be clear for health-care providers what their responsibilities are in terms of reporting."
