The interpersonal transmission of monkeypox is mainly male male behavior groups, and the risk of Monkeypox virus infection of ordinary citizens is low." On July 8, Lu Hongzhou, president of Shenzhen Third People's Hospital, told the People's Daily Health Client reporter that ordinary people go out daily, work normally The likelihood of being infected with monkeypox in daily life is extremely low.And monkeypox is a self-limiting disease, with symptoms that may last for 2 to 4 weeks, and clinical symptoms are generally mild.

"Controlling the source of infection, cutting off the Pathogen transmission, and protecting vulnerable people are the three major ways to prevent monkeypox from spreading on a large scale. With the increase of confirmed cases, it is not ruled out that there may be more sporadic and related confirmed cases among the next contacts, but the possibility of epidemic formation is very small. In addition, there is no evidence to prove that the virus transmission is related to temperature at present, and as long as the general population pays attention to prevention, the risk of infection is extremely low." Li Dong, Chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and infectious diseases of Beijing You'an Hospital, once told the health client reporter of People's Daily.

If they have a history of contact and exposure to suspicious animals and individuals or cases of monkeypox abroad, they can proactively contact local disease control institutions for consultation and reporting; If symptoms such as fever and rash occur, one should seek medical attention proactively and inform the attending doctor of their overseas travel history to assist in diagnosis and treatment. In addition to paying attention to the above matters, those who are about to return to China must cooperate with customs to actively report their health declaration upon entry.
