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].

Interestingly, this critique mirrors rhetoric often used by former President Donald Trump, who is known for diverting attention from more controversial issues. In this case, it could be seen as a way to shift the spotlight away from growing unease around the GOP’s Project 2025 and the more symbolic “eating of cats and dogs” controversy in Springfield, Ohio. Project 2025, the Republican-backed policy framework, has stirred concern due to its extreme deregulation measures and rollbacks on protections for vulnerable communities.
