Description:Currently, there are more than 61,000 reported cases of monkeypox infection worldwide. Reports of occupationally-acquired monkeypox infection in healthcare personnel (HCP) remain rare in this outbreak, with most reports involving HCP sustaining a sharps injury during specimen collection or not using recommended personal protective equipment (PPE).
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends HCP adhere to all recommended infection prevention and control measures including recommended PPE to reduce the risk of monkeypox virus transmission in healthcare settings.
