5Prevention of Monkeypox
Several preventive measures can be taken to protect people against monkeypox. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.K.’s National Health Service, and the World Health Organization, these suggestions include:
Isolate patients
People suspected or diagnosed with monkeypox should be isolated for some time to prevent the spread of the disease.
Avoid contact with infected animals or contaminated materials
Another effective measurement to prevent monkeypox is to cut down the transmission route, which involves avoiding contacting sick animals and dead animals in monkeypox outbreak areas and avoiding touching contaminated surfaces.
