-Avoid contact and eating bush meat, rats, monkeys and squirrels. Also avoid animals that are sick or that have been found dead in areas where monkeypox occurs.

-Avoid contact with any materials, such as bedding, that has been in contact with a sick animal.

-Wash your hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer after contact with infected animals or humans.
