No touch and contact.. Details about the “monkeypox” infection and its latest developments

And because the infection occurs through direct contact with the infected person, it can be easily contained through measures such as self-isolation and hygiene as soon as any new infection is diagnosed, and people who contract the virus initially suffer from fever, before the rash appears on the face and body, and symptoms also include headaches and muscle pain. And back pain, chills and fatigue, and monkeypox can then be transmitted by touching the affected areas, or by droplets flying during coughing and sneezing.

Returning to the period during which the infected person poses a danger to others, the expert in emerging infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University, Amish Adalja, confirmed to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, that the infected person is able to transmit the disease for up to 4 weeks following the onset of symptoms.
