Maintain Good Personal Hygiene
Washing hands thoroughly and frequently with soap is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and others from monkeypox infection. The reason is that the monkeypox virus attached to your hands can get into your eyes, nose, and mouth when you inadvertently touch your face. In addition, the monkeypox virus can be transferred to others while hand-shaking or passing objects to others. Hand sanitizers containing alcohol are recommended to kill the monkeypox virus if you can not wash your hands with clean water. [5]
