Chinese people have been advised not to touch foreigners to prevent possible monkeypox infection after the first known case of the virus in the country was recorded.
A man who had travelled to Berlin and Spain was unknowingly carrying the virus before entering China.
Despite the man being of Chinese nationality, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CCDC) country’s chief epidemiologist said “skin-to-skin contact with foreigners” should be avoided.
