Anyone who has been in close proximity to a monkeypox sufferer no longer needs to isolate - providing they have no symptoms, health officials have said
Dr Merav Kliner, deputy incident director at UKHSA, said:"While our advice on isolation is changing, monkeypox is still a serious public health challenge, and we urge contacts to take a break from any activities or events involving skin to skin contact, including sex, hugging and kissing to reduce the risk of the virus being passed on unknowingly."Thank you to all contacts who have isolated already in response to this outbreak.
Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay added:"Monkeypox is a rare and usually mild disease that does not spread easily between people, but we are taking action to help further manage the outbreak in the UK by procuring over 100,000 additional doses of vaccine. "The NHS is already contacting those eligible for the vaccine, and I would urge people to take up the offer as soon as they are contacted."
