5 Things to Prevent from Getting Monkey Pox: ⁣ ⁣ Unlike chicken pox, it’s harder to transmit monkey pox unless there is close, sustained or prolonged contact with an infected person. So far we know that it is transferred by direct contact with body lesions & materials that have touched body fluids or sores of an infected person. The sores especially, are more most contagious. ⁣ ⁣ !!️ON AIR BORN TRANSMISSION!!️👇🏾⁣ ⁣ Wear A Mask if face-to-face contact is likely:⁣ ⁣ There are important differences between airborne transmission and transmission via respiratory secretions which can occur with sustained face to face contact with monkey pox. ⁣ ⁣ HERE IS WHAT THE CDC SAYS:⁣ “Airborne transmission occurs when small virus particles become suspended in the air and can stay there for periods of time. These particles can spread on air currents, or sometimes even infect people who enter a room after the infected person has left. In contrast, monkeypox may be found in droplets like saliva or respiratory secretions that drop out of the air quickly. Long range (e.g., airborne) transmission of monkeypox has not been reported. ..It is not known to linger in the air and is not transmitted during short periods of shared airspace. “CDC⁣ ⁣ #monkeypox #chickenpox #skintips
