Description:

Updated July 5, 2022

Human-to-human transmission of monkeypox virus occurs by direct contact with lesion material or from exposure to respiratory secretions. Reports of human-to-human transmission describe close contact with an infectious person. Transmission in healthcare settings has been rarely described.

Summary of Changes On 7/01/2022:

• The Waste Management section was updated to provide more detail on the handling of waste and align with the Department of Transportation website on waste management for monkeypox patients.

• Sections on management of healthcare personnel and patients with a monkeypox exposure, and visitation, were also added.
