How monkeypox can be prevented

People travelling to endemic countries should avoid contact with sick animals (dead or alive) that could harbour monkeypox virus (rodents, marsupials, primates) and should refrain from eating or handling wild game (bush meat)

Monitor for symptoms if you have recently returned from overseas and may have had contact with a case of monkeypox. 

Staying vigilant with hygiene measures including washing hands with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitiser is important.

If you develop symptoms, isolate and seek medical attention, making sure to wear a mask and cover your lesions or blisters if you have any.
