Monkeypox has been included in the management of Class B infectious diseases in my country

On September 20 last year, my country announced that monkeypox would be included in the management of Class B infectious diseases and adopt prevention and control measures for Class B infectious diseases. How is monkeypox transmitted? How can it be prevented? The National Center for Disease Control and Prevention has previously provided relevant interpretations.

Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis caused by infection with the monkeypox virus, with the source of infection including monkeypox cases and infected non-human primates such as rodents, monkeys and apes.

Monkeypox virus mainly invades the human body through mucous membranes and broken skin, and is transmitted by direct contact with the diseased skin or mucous membranes of cases. It can also be transmitted by contact with virus-contaminated objects, long-term close-range inhalation of respiratory droplets from cases, contact with respiratory secretions, disease exudates, blood and other body fluids of infected animals, or infection by bites or scratches from infected animals.
