“Realistically, I know the numbers sound large, but in the great scheme of things, it’s almost non-existent as far as risks go for infectious diseases,” Evans said.Story continues below advertisement However, this advisory carefully noted those at most risk of infection are people who have had direct contact with individuals who currently have monkeypox or their household or intimate contacts.
“However, many of the same precautions I take for that are relevant to monkeypox wearing a mask in crowded spaces, limiting exposures to people outside my household, practicing good hand hygiene and disinfecting surfaces like airplane seatback trays.” More than 1,000 monkeypox cases have been reported in countries outside west and central Africa, where the virus normally spreads, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.Nearly 30 countries where monkeypox is not endemic have reported outbreaks of the viral disease.
