•   Do not leave your home if you suspect or are confirmed with Mpox, except to seek health care.
•   Avoid contact with wild or domestic animals
•   Wash hands often with soap and water
•   Suspected/confirmed cases of monkeypox should be isolated in a room from other family members where possible
•   Persons with monkeypox infection should wear a surgical mask (especially those who have respiratory symptoms e.g., cough, shortness of breath, sore throat) where feasible
•   Disposable gloves should be worn to avoid direct contact with lesions, and these should be disposed of after each use
•   Skin lesions should be covered to the best extent possible (e.g., long sleeves, trousers/long pants) to minimise the risk of contact with others
•   Laundry (e.g., linen and clothing), dishes and all contaminated surfaces may be washed with hot water, detergent, and disinfectant (0.5 percent sodium hypochlorite solution)
•   The importance of hand hygiene using soap and water, or alcohol-based sanitiser should be emphasised.
