What To Do if You are a Close Contact of a Person With MonkeypoxIf you have been informed that you are a close contact of a person with monkeypox, it’s important to take steps to protect your health and the health of others. Close contacts may be notified by a public health professional from their state, tribal, local, or territorial health department, or directly by someone they had close contact with during the time the person with monkeypox had symptoms. People exposed to monkeypox virus can continue their routine daily activities (for example, go to work or school) if they do not have signs or symptoms of monkeypox.
