But given the urgency of the health situation and the ever-increasing number of cases, he decided to talk regarding it: “I asked him what he was doing there if he had monkeypox. He confirmed to me that he was infected and that his doctor had told him that it was not necessary to isolate himself. He just told her to wear a mask.
Arturo Henriques then explained to her that her many rashes were actually dangerous for others. He then asked him if he was sure he had understood his doctor’s instructions correctly: “But he told me he didn’t care and went to sit down”.
