Experts suggest that residents should get knowledge of mpox prevention, strengthen self-protection, and reduce the risk of infection. If there is a history of contact with suspicious animals, people, or mpox cases at home and abroad, or an MSM relationship (men who have sex with men), and symptoms such as fever and rash occur, you should seek medical treatment and inform the doctor.
