Close contacts of monkeypox who are at high risk of catching the infection should isolate for 21 days, according to the latest government guidance.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) guidance now advises that those who have had “unprotected direct contact or high-risk environmental contact” should quarantine for three weeks.
Like Covid, this means supplying details for contact tracing, no travel, and no direct contact with immunocompromised people.
