After a careful investigation, the origin of this smallpox outbreak is in the Western Regions. Smallpox emerged there and then spread to the northwest of Great Zhou, and subsequently from the northwest to the capital. Fortunately, when it reached the capital, it was discovered in time and dealt with promptly, preventing the spread of smallpox beyond the capital.
In the Imperial Study, Doctor Lu was reporting yesterday's smallpox situation in the capital to the Emperor.
In total, more than two hundred people contracted smallpox, and over thirty have died from the disease, which is not a large number. Additionally, the spread of smallpox has been contained, and there haven't been many new infections in the past two days.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's tightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably, and his stern face softened a bit.
"This time, the Imperial Hospital did well to promptly control the spread of smallpox."
