Overview

To prevent monkeypox, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends proper hand hygiene with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizers after contact with infected animals or humans. Avoid contact with animals that can act as a reservoir for the virus e.g. rodents. Avoid close contact with lesions, bodily fluids, or respiratory droplets, or contaminated materials such as bedding or towels. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for healthcare workers when handling patients. Isolate infected patients to reduce spread[1].
