PROTECTING YOURSELF AGAINST MONKEYPOX
If you are at risk of contracting monkeypox, speak to your doctor, employer or local travel clinic about what you can do to minimise the risk of infection. You can also follow these practical measures to protect yourself and prevent the spread of infection to others:
- Avoid contact with wild, sick and dead animals
- Make sure all food that contains animal meat is thoroughly cooked
- Avoid close contact with monkeypox patients
If you are a health worker caring for a patient with monkeypox, you should follow standard infection control precautions.
If you are returning from Africa and you are experiencing any of the monkeypox symptoms, visit a healthcare professional[5].
