Director of monkeypox strategic response at the UK Health Security Agency Ruth Melton said that the risk of the disease spreading among the population is still low, but she advised citizens to be careful, especially when skin rashes or wounds appear on the body.
The UK Health Security Agency advised those infected with the infection and their contacts to isolate themselves at home for a period of twenty-one days and to completely stay away from contact with any other people until the rash and wounds disappear.
